<p><b>Advances an interpretation of Aristotle's theory of truth in terms of accurate measurement.</b></p><p>On the basis of careful textual exegesis and philosophical analysis of Aristotle's <i>Metaphysics</i>, Mark R. Wheeler offers a groundbreaking interpretation of Aristotle's theory of truth in terms of measurement. Wheeler demonstrates that Aristotle's investigation of truth and falsehood in the <i>Metaphysics</i> is rigorously methodical, that Aristotle's conceptions of truth contribute to the main lines of thought in the treatise, and that the <i>Metaphysics</i>, taken as a whole, contributes fundamentally to Aristotle's theory of truth. Wheeler provides not only an excellent introduction to the main problems in the theory of truth but also provides contemporary truth theorists with a rigorous explanation of Aristotle's theory of truth.</p>
