Abstract
In this paper I investigate how differences in approach to truth and logic (in particular, a deflationist
vs. a substantivist approach to these fields) affect philosophers’ views concerning pluralism and normativity
in these fields. My perspective on truth and logic is largely epistemic, focusing on the role of
truth in knowledge (rather than on the use of the words “true” and “truth” in natural language), and
my reference group includes Carnap (1934), Harman (1986), Horwich (1990), Wright (1992), Beall
and Restall (2006), Field (2009), Lynch (2009), and Sher (2016a).1 Whenever possible, I focus on
positive rather than negative views on the issues involved, although in some cases this is not possible.
