Semantic Theory of Truth

The Semantic Theory of Truth suggests that the truth of a statement depends on how well it matches reality or the way the world is. In simple terms, a statement is true if it accurately describes a situation or fact. For example, "The sky is blue" is true if, in reality, the sky is blue. This theory focuses on the relationship between language and the world, emphasizing that truth is about correspondence—whether our words correctly represent what actually exists or occurs. It helps clarify what we mean when we say something is true.
