Truth is...
the alignment between thought and reality, the correspondence of beliefs with the world as it is. Philosophical theories of truth explore this relationship:
the **correspondence theory** sees truth in the agreement between statements and facts;
the **coherence theory** locates truth within the internal consistency of a belief system;
the **pragmatic theory** ties truth to practical outcomes;
and **constructivist** views hold that truth is shaped by social and cultural contexts.
The **deflationary theory** reduces truth to a mere linguistic function, while **relativism** challenges the notion of absolute truth, asserting its dependence on perspective and context.
