FORERO MORA, José Andrés. TRUTH, METAPHYSICS AND EPISTEMOLOGY. SOME REMARKS ON NEUTRALITY OF THE TRUTH. Univ. philos. [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.64, pp.283-312. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uph32-64.vmte.

This paper aims to show that truth is neutral with respect to metaphysics and epistemology. In other words, the paper states that in order to make an analysis about our daily use of truth discourse, it is not necessary to refer to neither the nature of the world nor the nature of our epistemic capacities. The text is composed by three sections. In the first one, it makes explicit the common-sense intuitions which seem to bring truth to either metaphysics or epistemology. In the second one, the text analyzes the role of the predicate «is true» in our natural languages. In the third section, the intuitions aforementioned are considered with the purpose of examining its intuitive status and its alleged relationship with both metaphysics and epistemology.
