Wittgenstein actually covered that case; but Blackburn probably over-analyzed the work while reading it. I would advise him to try to read it with some normative force and see what he thinks...
Truth is the opposite of falsehood. Falsehood is the opposite of truth. Not too complicated - Slightly more complicated is knowing the difference between the two. This difficulty is of course constantly expressed by those who believe they know, versus those who believe they know, but in fact know nothing -
It seems to me that the pragmatist theory of truth is the same as the coherence theory. Pierce: truth is the end result of exhaustive inquiry. OK, the end result of exhaustive inquiry are statements that cohere with the rest of our knowledge.
@@havenbastion Things immaterially exist in a consciousness. Relationships between things only describes all knowledge within a self-consistent context that does not refer to external definitions. This renders linguistic tautologies useless. Propositional calculus succeeds in a self-consistent context, but fails to connect to ordinary language concepts. The universe of discourse is everything that is the case, every thing that makes sense and every thing that does not make sense and every relation and all logic and illogic. There exists no proof that the universe exists. There exists no proof that the world exists. There exists no proof that we exist. The illusion of self is an emergent property of a sufficient complex conscious neural network self referentially thought to exist by that consciousness, reifying itself into existence.
What a remarkably childish premise..."turn to pragmatism". That is the philosophical rant of a dilettante. What is pragmatic is often not true...but it is easier, serves ulterior purposes, a justifiable compromise, and an acceptable option for not doing the right thing...the correct thing. Expediency often follows pragmatism in decision-making. Of course there is truth. Not everything can be reduced to a single truth because not everything can be known. But, truth is discernible and measurable in enough cases in life that we can see empirical evidence of it. That is important. It takes character to search for it...especially when knowledge of it could be counter productive to the aim of the search.

The Word of Truth is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality (That which is).

Coherent is sufficient, but it must be internally coherent for internal purposes and externally coherent for external purposes.

Yes. Some circumstantial i.e. local events labeled Truth.
The Truth is that which continuously replicates.
The world is not everything that is the case.
The universe is everything that could be the case. The world is everything which we know to be the case.
