Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the philosophy of truth. Pontius Pilate famously asked: what is truth?

What is the difference between these two questions, and how useful is the second of them?With:Simon Blackburn Fellow of Trinity College, University of Cambridge, and Professor of Philosophy at the New College of the HumanitiesJennifer Hornsby Professor of Philosophy at Birkbeck, University of LondonCrispin Wright Regius Professor of Logic at the University of Aberdeen, and Professor of Philosophy at New York UniversityProducer: Victoria Brignell and Luke Mulhall.
