Truth can have a variety of meanings, from the state of being the case, being in accord with a particular fact or reality, being in accord with the body of real things, events, actuality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard. In archaic usage it could be fidelity, constancy or sincerity in action, character, and utterance. The term has no single definition yet about which over fifty percent of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories and views of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; 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.

The major theories of truth

The question of what is a proper basis for deciding how words, symbols, ideas and beliefs may properly be considered true, whether by a single person or an entire society, is dealt with by the five major substantive theories introduced below. Each theory presents perspectives that are widely shared by published scholars. There also have more recently arisen "deflationary" or "minimalist" theories of truth based on the idea that the application of a term like true to a statement does not assert anything significant about it, for instance, anything about its nature, but that the label truth is a tool of discourse used to express agreement, to emphasize claims, or to form certain types of generalizations.

How can you tell the difference between truth or prejudice?
Q. Was studying on how to argue and was wondering, how can you tell the difference between truth or prejudice? I know the goal is to convey the point you are giving but, I really want to know how can you tell which is which?
Asked by linkiz - Mon Jan 14 00:36:33 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your question is flawed. Someone could be being truthful and honest yet prejudice at the same time. In addition, some prejudicial things are true.

What is the truth about store bought honey bears?
Q. I work with honey and it seems the little honey bears you buy at the grocers work the best for my purpose. It is so smooth and glass like. Kinda like Corn Syrup. Is this honey processed different, or are they diluting it with some mystery syrup? And where can I find all I need to know about the truth about honey? I am buying pure honey, at least that is what it says. Thanks in advance!
