گفتوگو در باب صدق
گـردآورنـدگان ايـن مـجموعـه پانزده گفتوگو با متخصصان حوزههای مختلف، از فیلسوف و مورخ گرفته تا وکیل و روزنامهنگار، دربارۀ مفهوم صدق(حقیقت، راستی، درستی، صحت، واقعیت) ترتیب دادهاند و کتاب پیش رو گزارشی از این گفتوگوهاست. این کتاب تلاش میکند به همان روش قدیمی و مأنوس فلسفه، یعنی گفتوگوی سقراطی، از زوایای گوناگون و متنوع در اطراف یکی از واژههای بهظاهر آشنای زندگی ما کندوکاو کند، ارتباط آن را با سایر مفاهیم روشن کند و نشان دهد در زمینهها و موقعیتهای مختلف چگونه آن را به کار میبریم. در اینجا هم مثل بیشتر گفتوگوهای سقراطی در پایان گفتوگو تعریف جامع و مانعی از صدق نداریم، اما از مسیری عبور كردهایم که پیمودنش آموزنده و لـذتبـخـش بـوده اسـت.

مصاحبههای میک گوردون و کریس ویلکینسن طیف وسیعی از مشارکتکنندگان را در بر گرفته است؛ از فیلسوف و زبانشناس تا وکیل و ژورنالیست. هر کدام از آنها دربارهی تعریف خود از صدق / حقیقت در زمینهی مورد بحث میگوید و موانعی که بر سر صدق و راستی و درستی در آن حیطه وجود دارد
به نظر میرسد پس از رسوایی حمله به عراق یا محبوبیت نسبی نگرشهای پستمدرن به حقیقت، مؤلفان صدق / حقیقت را در معرض خطر دیدهاند و به همین دلیل اغلبِ مصاحبهها را به یافتن زیربنایی برای صدق / حقیقت و دفاع از آنها اختصاص دادهاند

This book is a series of conversations (edited into readable format) with various people who have an interested in the idea of "truth" from a variety of viewpoints -- such as philosophers, ethicists, journalists and evolutionary psychologists. The conversations were initiated by a pair of journalist/theatre directors who were attempting to find a way into the production of some form of drama through which notions of truth might be explored.
There are fifteen conversations, and although the conversations are edited, and they begin from a set of predefined questions, the interviewers allow the direction of conversation to suggest other directions the conversations might take. Sometimes, this ends up in diversions not necessarily to do with "truth" per se. And as commentators from various fields have been brought into the conversations, there are areas that might be of more interest to readers than others. Certainly, I was much more interested in what philosophers had to say than, say, journalists. And the evolutionary psychologist opened up an interesting area by suggesting that there might be evolutionary benefits to lying. Additionally, given the discursive nature of the conversations, areas in which I wanted more depth were sometimes glossed over - this is not an academic treatise.
The book then, is something of a curate's egg -- hence the three-star rating. Nonetheless, as an introduction to truth, and the definitional, ethical, philosophical and cultural issues surrounding the concept, I thought this was a very useful book.

I enjoyed the collection of essays here. It is a good introduction to some "soft" philosophy for anyone who is interested in getting an insight into classical and more modern concepts being discussed. If anything, the book will make readers think twice when making truth-claims. Gordon does a good job of piecing together different viewpoints and keeping the essays a workable length.
