[MD] theories of truth

[david buchanan]

"...the MOQ does not insist on a single exclusive truth.  [...] ...saying the MOQ is false and a subject-object metaphysics is true is like saying that rectangular coordinates are true and polar coordinates are false. A map with the north pole at the center is confusing at first, but it's every bit as correct as a Mercator map. In the arctic it's the only map to have. Both are simply intellectual patterns for interpreting reality and one can only say that in some circumstances rectangular coordinates provide a better, simpler interpretation." (Lila 100)
