- How Exactly Do You Define Truth? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
Well, the truth itself is the way things are, and like you're saying, there isn't so much we can do to further define that It just is But there's a second consideration, which is that humans make claims about the way things are These claims may be considered as sequences of characters, or noises, or perhaps patterns of mental activity And we call some of these claims true, and other claims
- logic - What is the difference between Fact and Truth? - Philosophy . . .
