ABSTRACT

The concept of truth, it's meaning for the cognitive capability and beyond, for the essence of man, is one of the fundamental questions of philosophy. Truth is the new meaning, which man adds to the sensory organs perception communication of its animal systems. The history of philosophy presents us with different kinds of truth: Greek philosophy with a truth of being; medieval Christian philosophy with a truth of things. The truth of a sentence requires evidence if it wants to be of any consequence. Truth is different for various groups of people because their languages are related to different aspects of reality, and this holds also for other values. The communication with the transcending God as origin of truth leads the Jews to the feeling of being the "chosen people"; the same truth generated in Christians, the concept of special grace.
