philosophical theories of truth
Définition(s)
- There is probably in philosophy no other notion that enjoys the privilege of being both so simple and so entangled. On the one hand, truth is, as René Descartes said, “so transcendentally clear that it is impossible to ignore it.” On the other hand, as soon as we try to spell out the nature of the property or relation in which truth consists, we encounter difficulties, taking us to the highest reaches of metaphysics—those of the nature of knowledge, of the mind dependence or independence of reality, and of language and its relation to the world.
