| | | | Our own reality:
So, if you create your own reality, you are the only real inhabitant of that reality. The appearance of others is an illusion. This is called solipsism.
A statement (claim) is true when it corresponds with, or accurately depicts, reality; in other words, when it fits the facts in the world. (This view is called the “The Objectivist Theory of Truth or Correspondence Theory of Truth.")Yes, objectivists believe there is a fact of the matter in any dispute.
Social (cultural) relativism: truth is relative to societies-truth is relative to individuals.
Disagreement is pointless, since everyone is right.
There are many options we could consider when asking what exactly has a truth value; for example, beliefs, statements, sentences, propositions and theories. These are all candidates but some have proven problematic; take sentences or beliefs, for instance. When we ask if a sentence or belief is true, do we mean a specific instance or a general one?
Any argumentation for intra-religious or extra-religious consistency of religion has to take into account the fact that not all religious contents are expressed in a propositional language; that a religious creed includes also not truths which are mysteries (e.g. the Christian mystery of the Holy Trinity or of the Incarnation – Jesus is god) and which are accepted as God's gift; that because of specificity of the religious language. Not all religious propositions have an ambiguous meaning. When one acts, one goes beyond solitude because to act is to search for the truth, and truth always appears in common.
How do we reconcile religious truth and scientific truth? I think that the notion of absolute truth motivates inquiry.
All of this suggests an external world as a better explanation.
