The results support a realist theory of truth and of universals, and open the way for a nonfoundationalist and nonholistic approach to epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Bradford Book\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuth Garrett Millikan is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut.
