The concept of truth is as ubiquitous as it is a primary pillar of history’s intellectual thinking. A concept inseparable to humanity’s thought processes, reasoning and argumentation, but what is truth? It is true that right now you are reading this page, but how is it true? Is truth tied to objective reality and objective criteria or is it solely constructed by the mind. Is nothing true or is everything true? Should we think about truth as a monolithic concept or as a pluralistic one? What about truth in the humanities compared to the sciences? And how can we deal with the potential of ultimate truth concerning meta-pictures of overall reality and existence.
