Definition:
To say that a statement is "truth" is to say that it reflects the way things
really are. What truth is beyond that is a matter of debate, with different philosophers
offering different theories as to what truth is and how to distinguish truth from
falsity.
Among these explanations are the correspondence, coherence, pragmatic, redundancy, and semantic theories of truth.
