  • The Coherence Theory of Truth

    Ralph C S Walker, Ralph Walker et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Truth2018

    The coherence theory holds that truth consists in coherence amongst our beliefs. It can thus rule out radical scepticism and avoid the problems of the correspondence theory. Considerations about meaning and verification have also pointed philosophers in the same direction. But if it holds all truth to consist in coherence it is untenable: there must be some truths that do not, truths about what people believe. This causes problems for traditional…

  • Self and Selves

    Ralph C S WalkerBOOKKant and the Philosophy of Mind2017

He is impatient with the ‘interminablism’ of the disputes about what Kant actually meant in…

  • Kant on the Number of Worlds

    Ralph C S WalkerARTICLEBritish Journal for the History…2010Cited by: 7References: 21

    It has long been disputed whether Kant's transcendental idealism requires two worlds – one of appearances and one of things in themselves – or only one. The one-world view must be wrong if it claims that individual spatio-temporal things can be identified with particular things in themselves, and if it fails to take seriously the doctrine of double affection; versions that insist on one world, without making claims about the identity of individua…
