The article elucidates and assesses the account of truth of Bruno A. K. Bauch, a member of the late Baden School of neo-Kantianism. The account is based on Bauch's philosophy of validity. To begin with, we discuss some basic conceptual distinctions introduced by Bauch. Then, we put forward the constitutive and regulative notions of Truth, understood as the fundamentum veritatis. Finally, we attempt to contrast Bauch's account with Bertrand Russel's correspondence theory of truth. Our discussion allows us to conclude that Bauch's account is a valuable attempt at explaining the necessary connection between truth and validity. Moreover, it is a serious alternative to deflationary (inflationary) theories of truth, which deprive truth of theoretical significance.
