  Truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Truth is a property, just as red is a property predicated of a barn in the sentence in "The barn is red." The task for such theories is to explain the nature of this property.
Social constructivism holds that truth is constructed by social processes, is historically and culturally specific, and that it is in part shaped through the power struggles within a community.
The Indefinability theory of truth views the concept of truth along the same lines as a correspondence theorist, but it holds that truth cannot be defined in terms of simpler concepts.

 Truth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The study of truth itself is part of philosophical logic, and within philosophy it is of special interest to metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language.
Social constructivism holds that truth is constructed by social processes, and it represents the power struggles within a community.
A second example is the performative theory of truth which holds that to say "Snow is white" is true is to perform the speech act of signalling one's agreement with the claim that snow is white (much like nodding one's head in agreement).

 Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Review: Truth by Simon Blackburn
Without absolute truths, and the reiterated insistence of their enduring reality, the Catholic church would have no basis, a fact to which Ratzinger and, we assume, the vast majority of cardinals, were acutely alive when they sealed themselves into the Sistine Chapel to choose a successor to their dead capo di capi.
Truth is based on the texts of the Gifford lectures delivered last year at the University of Glasgow, and on other, occasional lectures and articles written over the past four or five years.
For all the excitement of the chase after truth, perhaps we would do best to follow the example of the ancient sceptics, for whom, Blackburn writes, "it was an admirable consequence of their scepticism that they lost conviction, lost enthusiasm as it were for holding one opinion rather than another.

 LW Books: Reclaiming Truth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Truth, Christopher Norris reminds us, is very much out of fashion at the moment - whether at the hands of politicians, media pundits, or purveyors of postmodern wisdom in cultural and literary studies.
Questions of truth and falsehood are always internal to some specific language-game; history is just another kind of fiction; philosophy is only a kind of writing; law is a wholly rhetorical practice.
Norris attempts to rehabilitate the value of truth in philosophy of science by restoring a lost distinction between concept and metaphor and argues that theoretical discourse, far from being an inconsequential activity, has very real consequences, particularly in ethics and politics.

 Quotes on truth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.
To the latter, the truth is dangerous not only because it can threaten their power but because it shakes their whole conscious system of orientation, deprives them of their rationalizations, and might even force them to act differently.
...truth is great and will prevail if left to herself; that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

 Starhawk's Books: Truth or Dare
Because the woman runs screaming into the gym, because she dives into the center of our meeting, because we are in jail, because six guards are after her, because spontaneously we surround her and protect her, we encounter mystery.
Although many women, at booking, gave their names as Karen Silkwood, we are not at risk of being run off the road for our stand.
The foregoing is excerpted from Truth or Dare by Starhawk.

 Books: The Truth About Papa (Weekly Alibi . 07-26-99)
On July 21, the literati celebrate the centennial anniversary of the incongruity that was Ernest Hemingway with a flurry of new biographical releases and literary reprints.
He earned fame both for his inculpable ability to tell the truth through his fiction and his equally faultless ability to present lies as the truth in his day-to-day living.
The signature myopic vision of women as shrews or sirens is interwoven with the Kenyan rebellion of the KiKayu, lion hunting and Hemingway's confessional commentary on the relationships between truth and lies.

 Salon | Books: SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER
While some of the personal material in "Speaking Truth to Power" is inherently compelling, the wonkish asides on sexual harassment law and congressional procedures are as dry and plodding as a public policy textbook.
The book's greatest contribution is to help those of us who always instinctively believed Hill to understand why she waited 10 years to bring her charges against Thomas and why she called him a dozen times during those years.
She's absolutely convincing, explaining that it didn't occur to her -- then a 25-year old neophyte -- to confront Thomas (who was, after all, in charge of the agency that dealt with sexual harassment).

Carrying a copy of any of his books was a sign that you knew.
Yet, as Peggy Salinger writes, her father, although not concerned with her school grades, exhorted her to read the same books that are found in Buddy's brother Seymour's bedroom: Tolstoy, Ring Lardner, Kafka, Mu Mon Kwan and so on.

This is Larkin's famous book on dispensationalism that includes his beautifully-drawn fl and white charts.

 Salon.com Books | "The Truth (With Jokes)"
Al Franken's new book probably won't get the free ride to No. 1 bestseller status that his last one did.
Franken's "The Truth (With Jokes)" will thus be left in the unenviable position of having to succeed on its own merits.
In his previous book, "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right," Franken -- working with a team of young research nerds from Harvard -- systematically disproved pretty much anything Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and company ever said on record.
