ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the truth is an especially difficult philosophical topic to approach. Correspondence Theories come in a number of shapes and forms. As well as necessary truths, one might also wonder about ethical, aesthetic, and spiritual truths. A primary motivation for this view is that the nature of justification is also naturally thought of as involving coherence. In particular, he sought to achieve a definition that was extensionally adequate, given the existence of certain semantic paradoxes. The best-known criticism of Tarski's theory of truth is Hartry Field's contention that Tarski fails to define truth in non-semantic terms. The idea behind Deflationism is that philosophers have got themselves into a tangle worrying about illusory metaphysical issues. Relativism is not a popular position among contemporary philosophers, but its unpopularity should not be allowed to obscure its advantages, which are significant. Relativism offers a very plausible descriptive account of truth and knowledge.
