Summary: How can we know the truth? How can we know that what we believe is true? Truth is the correspondence between thought and reality. When what you think matches with what reality really is, you have truth. Beliefs come in systems, these systems are known as worldviews. According to The American Heritage Dictionary, a worldview is “the overall perspective from which one sees and interprets the world.” So how know your worldview is correct? The truest worldview, and the truest claim, is the one that is empirically based, logically consistent, sufficiently comprehensive, and pragmatically verified, and is, within this framework, humanly relevant.
