In
On Truth and the Representation of Reality
, Dan Nesher develops a new theory of truth in the framework of pragmatist theory of representation. Using the pragmatist theory of perception for the basis of his epistemological explanation of our
confrontation
with external Reality and how it's represented, Nesher shows that in our perceptual operations we quasi-prove the
truth
of our perceptual judgments. He explains how- through our proving the truth of our propositions and theories, we know that they correspond to Reality, and through our proving their falsity, we know that they don't correspond to it.
