The objective reality, can be easily understood than the subjective
reality, because it can become more perceivable by the human rationality,
because humans were created with the property of perceiving them, (Genesis
1:26) by using the property of
truth, as the opposite of false, because they are the only living beings in possession
of rationality and conscience.
The subjective reality, is only understandable by describing the outcome
of the meaning of the word employed to refer to the subjective reality, words
such as good against evil, The God of Creation against the God of religion,
truth against lies, eternal life against eternal death of the person, etc. Here
we share with you some definitions or theories of truth
Correspondence theory of truth
Correspondence theories emphasize that true beliefs
and true statements correspond to the actual situation. This type of theory
stresses a relationship between thoughts or statements on one hand, and things
or objects on the other. It is a traditional model tracing its origins to ancient
Greek philosophers
such as Socrates, Plato,
and Aristotle. This class of theories holds
that the truth or the falsity of a representation is determined in principle
entirely by how it relates to "things" according to whether it
accurately describes those "things". A classic example of correspondence
theory is the statement by the thirteenth century philosopher and
theologian Thomas
Aquinas:
"Veritas est
adaequatio rei et intellectus" ("Truth is the adequation of things
and intellect"), which Aquinas
attributed to the ninth century Neoplatonist Isaac Israeli. Aquinas also restated the
theory as: "A judgment is said to be true when it conforms to the external
reality".
For coherence theories in general, truth requires a
proper fit of elements within a whole system. Very often, coherence is taken to
imply something more than simple logical consistency; often there is a demand
that the propositions in a coherent system lend mutual inferential support to
each other. So, for example, the completeness and comprehensiveness of the
underlying set of concepts is a critical factor in judging the validity and
usefulness of a coherent system. A central tenet of coherence theories is the
idea that truth is primarily a property of whole systems of propositions and
can be ascribed to an individual proposition only in virtue of its relationship
to that system. Among the assortment of perspectives commonly regarded as
coherence theory, theorists differ on the question of whether coherence entails
many possible true systems of thought or only a single absolute system.
Three influential forms of the pragmatic
theory of truth were introduced around the turn of the 20th century
by Charles Sanders Peirce, William
James, and John Dewey. Although there are wide differences in viewpoint
among these and other proponents of pragmatic theory, they all hold that truth
is verified and confirmed by the results of putting one's concepts into
practice
An early variety of deflationary theory is
the redundancy theory of truth, so-called because—in
examples like those above, e.g. "snow is white [is true]"—the concept
of "truth" is redundant and need not have been articulated; that is,
it is merely a word that is traditionally used in conversation or writing,
generally for emphasis, but not a word that actually equates to anything in
reality. This theory is commonly attributed to Frank P.
Ramsey,
who held that the use of words like fact and truth was
nothing but a roundabout way of asserting a proposition, and that
treating these words as separate problems in isolation from judgment was merely
a "linguistic muddle".
