Truth: A Guide will be an essential sure-footed companion through the territory - a study of truth, and the enemies of truth, and the wars that have been fought between them, from classical to modern times. It will look at relativism and absolutism, toleration and belief, objectivity and knowledge, science and pseudo-science, and explore the moral and political implications, as well as the nuances, of these concepts in the struggle to determine what we mean by 'the truth'.
