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 ...
Truth is what the singer gives to the listener when she’s brave enough to open up and sing from her heart. But still curious about the difference between both of them. In our daily life, in general conversation, we generally use these both terms interchangeably. Then what is the difference? Are they synonym or have specific difference?
"There is no absolute truth because we as humans are restrained from ever knowing it" is fallacious, what humans can know imposes no restriction on what is. And "this" will only be a way out of the paradox after it specifies which axioms of classical logic are supposed to be dropped, and shows that what is left is enough and otherwise reasonable. There are several options described in standard ...
5 "Whether truth can exist without language" and "that truth is an objective reality that exists independently of us" are not opposed claims, although they don't imply one another. A Platonist would tell you that language, like other mental objects, exists in the ideal realm whether people are around to think about it or not.
Finding truths is definitely possible, finding important truths harder; finding all important truths is much, much harder, and maybe impossible except for the truly enlightened - and these people are rare.
Truth is a property of propositions, mostly propositions claiming facts. Hence truth lives in a completely different domain. "It rains today" is a proposition which claims a fact. The proposition can be true or false. On the other hand, facts are not true or false. Instead, they are or they are not. See also What is the difference between Fact ...
What does Kierkegaard mean when he says " Truth is subjectivity " in his book - Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments. Since "Subjectivity refers to how someone's judgment is
Apologies if this question has been asked before, I looked at similar ones and couldn't find one that answered this exact question. Is there such a thing as truth completely independent of conditio...
Truth, in the sense you are using it here, is a semantic notion. It is not equivalent to proof as you suggest. On the other hand, (mathematical) proof is a syntactic notion. Gödel's result is essentially saying that semantics cannot be reduced to syntax.
All truths are relative, and this is the only absolute principle. wrote August Comte. Anyway a radical relativism poses a serious problem: if every truth is always relative, is the latter an absol...
