Jennifer Hornsby

Jennifer Hornsby is a philosopher known for her work on truth, language, and meaning, particularly in the context of truth theories. She argues against the idea that truth can be solely defined by correspondence to reality, emphasizing instead the importance of context and practical use in understanding meaning. Hornsby explores how our linguistic practices shape what we consider to be true, suggesting that truth is not just an abstract concept but is rooted in our interactions and the nuances of everyday communication. This perspective highlights the complexity of truth in both philosophical and practical terms.
