logic - What is the difference between Fact and Truth? - Philosophy ...
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?
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 ...
epistemology - Truth vs Knowledge - Philosophy Stack Exchange
Truth is a concept more narrow than knowledge. Truth is a property of statements: A statement can be true or false. The statement "Today is a sunny day" is true if and only the sun shines today. Note: The words in quotation marks are the statement. The statement refers to the actual situation given in the final part of the sentence. Knowledge has a broader scope. It means insight into a domain ...
Can truth exist without language? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
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.

What is the philosophical difference between "Reality" and "Truth"?
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 ...

How can we attain ‘truth’ if all we can do is justification?
OP: " How can we attain ‘truth’ if all we can do is justification? " This comes down to the idea that there are historically two forms of truth: the truth of the pre-Socratics and that of the Platonists. For the pre-Socratics the truth is what is, as presented, whereas for the Platonists truth means the correspondence of the presented form with its idea — or in the OP's terms its ...
logic - The absolute truth paradox - Philosophy Stack Exchange
"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 ...
How is Truth Different From Reality? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
So basically philosophical truth is not too different from how we use truth commonly, we just want to come up with a definition thats not ineffable. Sort of like how everyone knows what knowledge is, its just hard to explain what it is.
