Book Description
This thrilling novel paints a grim picture of what the future may have in store for us. Advocate of the truth is a gripping novel set in today's society, marked by growing intolerance, populism, terrorism, the yearn for security and failing (political) leadership. A society in which technological developments seem endless, but where the privacy of the individual is undermined with no remorse. On a more personal level, it is a deeply moving story about friendship, love and the compassion Francis of Assisi stands for. This fast-paced literary thriller prompts you to reflect on wisdom from the past and ethics for the future, showing the intense struggle between good and evil that hits home in today's society. When Thomas, a former partner of a prestigious law firm, promises his best friend Sam to keep his groundbreaking Spider technology away from mankind, he has no clue what awaits him. A chilling scenario unfolds when Thomas is plunged into a web of corporate espionage, misleading information, the rising power of populism and murder. As he finds signs pointing to a high-level conspiracy, a mysterious and deadly virus sweeps across the earth. Politicians and unknown forces take advantage of the panic, hitting fear buttons worldwide. A pandemic is looming, and so is a dystopian future. Orwell's 1984 is getting closer every day. "If we aren't careful we will turn into a society in which all human consciousness ceases to exist. It will be much worse than Orwell's 1984." Suddenly Sam's Spider technology has life-saving potential, raising profound ethical questions: Do we allow fear and greed to overrule the natural bonds between people? Should the privacy of individuals be sacrificed to the illusion of safety? How do we prevent technology from casting a dark shadow over the future? And ultimately: is mankind nearing its expiration date? Thomas sets out to find the truth against a backdrop of misleading information, manipulation, deceit and intimidation. Nothing is what it seems. His tense search leads him to the medieval Italian city of Assisi, oppressive boardrooms, back alleys and dimly-lit churches in Rome, and a former monastery overlooking the Mediterranean in France. He is supported by his old college buddy Charles, a philosopher who has moved up the ranks of Dutch politics, and by Gianni, a quick-witted Italian lawyer in Rome. Meanwhile, he has two women vying for his heart: Sophia, a sensitive violinist who cared for his father in the final days of life, and Juliette, an alluring and intriguing Parisian he meets by chance in Tuscany.

Truth: A Contemporary Reader
Author: Douglas EdwardsPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
For the first time Truth: A Contemporary Reader brings together essays that have shaped two aspects of a fundamental philosophical topic: the nature of truth and the value of truth. Featuring 22 essays, this up-to-date reader includes seminal work by leading figures in contemporary analytic philosophy. It charts the development of the central 'grand proposals' about the nature of truth, and subsequently how their influence gradually diminished in face of new theories developed in the 20th and 21st-centuries. The reader also demonstrates how truth is often taken to be valuable in various ways, in particular as the norm of correctness for belief and assertion, and the relationship between truth and other epistemic values. With introductory overviews to each group of related papers complemented by guides to further reading, this reader introduces the central debates, familiarizes students with the most important work in the field and covers pivotal theories of truth including: - correspondence theories - coherentism, pragmatism, verificationism - deflationary, primitivist, and pluralist theories Moreover, by showing how thoughts about truth and value bear heavily on one another, Truth: A Contemporary Reader provides new opportunities for understanding and advancing the link between these central topics. This is an essential collection for anyone studying or working in metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language today.
