Most of us know that there are different theories of truth. Even if you weren’t a philosophy major like me, we still learn about these different theories through every day experience.

What we believe to be true, and how we learn what is true is tested every day by little things like being able to go to and from our destinations, to bigger things like what we thing might be right or wrong to do.

There is also a social side to theories of truth. A social ideology will be supported in some way by some preliminary assumptions and presuppositions about both what is believed to be true about reality and also how human minds are able to grasp that truth.

Pragmatism is the a predominant theory of truth in the United States; and, although some points have its merits, I still think it is good for us to question the assumptions we might be making even if we’re not fully aware that we’ve been making them.
