Truth
The
meaning of the word truth extends from
honesty,
good faith, and
sincerity in general, to agreement with
fact or
reality in particular. The term has no single
definition about which the majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree. Various
theories of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute. This article introduces the various perspectives and claims, both today and throughout history.
