    Marian David

    contemporaryAnalytic Philosophy

    Marian David is a contemporary analytic philosopher best known for his defense and development of the correspondence theory of truth. His influential 1994 monograph *Correspondence and Disquotation* offers a rigorous account of how truth relates to the world while engaging seriously with deflationary rivals.
