Неопрагматистки концепции за истината
Neopragmatist Conceptions of Truth

Summary/Abstract: The paper considers some of the major neopragmatist approaches to the notion of truth with their respective methodological questions and corresponding difficulties. A basic distinction is made between 'radical' and 'moderate' neopragmatism and both directions are compared with respect to their ability to interpret the concept of truth in a consistent way. The result of the analysis suggests that the 'moderate' representatives of pragmatism such as Hilary Putnam and Simon Blackburn offer more promising directions, while the radical arguments of Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson about truth put the pragmatist strategy on the way of contradicting some of its own tenets.
