truth theories
Truth theories are philosophical approaches that try to explain what it means for a statement to be true. They explore different ways to understand truth, such as the Correspondence Theory, which says a statement is true if it matches reality; the Coherence Theory, which considers a statement true if it fits well within a system of beliefs; and the Pragmatic Theory, which sees truth as what works or is useful. These theories help us analyze how we determine what is true across various contexts and disciplines.
