Time Saving Truth from Falsehood and Envy, François Lemoyne, 1737
A few days ago a friend ask me what was my definition for Truth. I replied: The essences of purity, honesty, and the opposite of falsehood.
This wasn't good enough for them, so I replied there is no specific definition. Then I decided to google it. I almost hit it dead on.
The meaning of the word truth extends from honesty, good faith, and sincerity in general, to agreement with fact or reality in particular.[1] The term has no single definition about which a majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories of truth continue to be debated.
