Truth: What It Is, How to Find It, and Why It Still Matters is a nonfiction work of skeptical philosophy and public science communication by Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and a long time advocate of critical thinking. The book addresses the contemporary anxiety that truth has become unstable in an environment shaped by misinformation, partisan media, conspiracy thinking, and claims of alternative facts. Shermer argues that truth remains indispensable because individuals, institutions, science, and democratic life depend on shared methods for distinguishing reality from error. Rather than treating truth as a purely abstract philosophical problem, he connects epistemology to practical judgment. The book explains how people can assess claims through evidence, probability, causal reasoning, and awareness of cognitive bias. It also applies these tools to science, history, religion, morality, UFO claims, miracles, consciousness, and conspiracy theories. Its purpose is to defend objective reality while preserving intellectual humility about human error.
