The work examines deflationism and clarifies how language connects to the world, then tracks how truth re-emerges in broader metaphysical terms. It develops and compares models of truth and being, and addresses primitivism and truth-making, focusing on how truth-making relates to the nature of truth and culminating with concluding reflections and a supporting bibliography.","The Metaphysics of Truth  \nThe Metaphysics of Truth  \nDouglas Edwards  \n1  \n1  \nGreat Clarendon Street, Oxford, OX2 6DP, United Kingdom  \nOxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.

I would like to start with Peter Momtchiloff, for his advice and guidance throughout, which has made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I would like to thank two anonymous reviewers for Oxford University Press for their comments on the initial proposal, and, in particular, two anonymous reviewers for their comments on the first draft of the manuscript, and one of the two for commenting again on a revised version. These comments were detailed and exhaustive, and they enabled me to improve the book in many ways. I am very grateful for the diligence and care with which they examined the manuscript. I’d like to thank Christine Ranft for copy-editing the text, and Ranjith Shanmugam for managing the production process.  \nMany people read parts of an earlier draft of the book, and I am grateful for their very helpful comments.
