Renowned philosophers, mathematicians, and younger scholars provide an insightful contribution to the lively debate in this interdisciplinary field of inquiry. The essays look at realism vs. anti-realism as well as inflationary vs. deflationary theories of truth.

These papers collected here were also presented at their second international conference, held at the University of Chieti-Pescara, May 2016.
