Philosophy of Truth

The Philosophy of Truth explores what it means for something to be true, especially within the context of science. It examines how scientific claims can be verified, the role of evidence, and the nature of knowledge. Philosophers consider different theories of truth, like correspondence theory, which suggests that truth corresponds to reality, and coherence theory, which sees truth as part of a consistent system of beliefs. In science, truth is often provisional, adapting as new evidence emerges, highlighting the dynamic relationship between observation, theory, and understanding in our pursuit of knowledge.
