ABOUTIn celebration of the 125th year of the Proceedings we are proud toannounce our first ever Online Conference of the Aristotelian Society: aweek-long event featuring a classic paper a day from our back catalogue,each accompanied by a commentary by a contemporary philosopher andan online forum open to all. The commentary will stimulate discussion byhighlighting the paper’s major themes and their continuing importance tocurrent debates; signaling challenges to specific claims and arguments; andindicating thematic connections between the various papers.Continuing in the Society’s long tradition of publishing the proceedings ofits live events, both the classic papers and commentaries will be publishedin our first ever Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, The Virtual Issue,which will be free and available online following the conference.The first Online Conference and Virtual Issue will focus on the theme ofTruth. What is it for the things we say or believe to be true? Does truthdepend on a relation between what we say or believe and the world? Whatare the natures of the things we say or believe, the bearers of truth? Towhat are the truth-bearers related when they are true: are they related tofacts, ordinary objects, or something else? What is the required relation?We’ll want an account of the nature of truth that addresses those questionsalso to fit with an account of truth’s importance: why should it matter tous that what we say or believe is true rather than false? Our views abouttruth are liable to impact widely on our views about other things. Aremoral claims or views apt to be true or false, or are they to be evaluatedalong different dimensions? Does truth figure in an account of the natureof belief or the nature of assertion? Is the acquisition of beliefs that are trueamongst the fundamental aims of inquiry?Each of the papers selected for the Online Conference were chosen for thedistinctive answers that they advance to these questions. In some casespapers were chosen because they have had a decisive impact on laterdiscussions, in others they were chosen because they present views andarguments that deserve more careful consideration than they have thus farreceived. In all cases, there is much to be gained from becoming acquainted,or reacquainted, with these important texts.The Online Conference and Virtual Issue will be moderated and edited byGuy Longworth (Warwick).
