自從邏輯實證論以來，英美哲學對於符應性真理進行了毫 不留情的批判，其高鋒在於理查．羅蒂的主張：真理的本質無 法以理性的方式闡明。因此，「真理」被哲學所放逐（而哲學 被理性所放逐，並且被降格成想像文學的一種形式）。羅蒂的 新實用主義將相對主義的絕對價值引入美國的政體，將一切原 則性的規範排除在美國社會政策之外。與異性愛、男女婚姻、墮 胎等有關的規範性價值在政治上被政府所引進的政治上可欲的 「X 團體權」所相對化。本研究以英美的觀念論來為符應性真 理的本質重新奠定基礎，藉此在理性的層次上積極面對羅蒂的 論點。真理的本質和結構得以確定，並且在有效性上顯明是普 世的和永恆的。羅蒂的反面論點並不具有邏輯的一致性，因此 是自毀的。

Since logical positivism Anglo-American philosophy has engaged in a relentless critique of correspondence truth, culminating in Richard Rorty’s claim that the very nature of truth cannot be rationally ascertained. “Truth” is thereby banned from philosophy (and philosophy itself is banned from reason, reduced to a form of imaginative literature). Rorty’s neopragmatism has introduced a total value relativism into the American polity excluding all principled norms from social policy in American. Normative values relative to heterosexuality, man-woman marriage, killing innocents (viz., abortion), etc. are being politically relativized by the governmental introduction of politically desired “x-group’s rights”, etc. in place of natural law. This study aggressively confronts on a rational level Rorty’s contention by regrounding the nature of correspondence truth in terms of Anglo-American idealism. The nature and structure of truth is ascertained and shown to be universal and eternal in validity. Rorty’s counter contention has no logical coherence except in terms of the nature of truth and, hence, is self-destructive.
