Defining the Term Truth
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask whether you think the following definition of the concept of truth (in the context of a factual claim) is philosophically adequate:
Truth is a property of a proposition, when it describes external reality as it objectively exists. Or alternatively, by correspondence to a system of coherent propositions.
Answer
More or less.
Discussion on Answer
No.
Do you have a better definition for it?
