− | A '''truth theory''' or a '''theory of truth''' is a [[conceptual framework]] that underlies a particular conception of [[truth]], such as those used in [[art]], [[ethics]], [[logic]], [[mathematics]], [[philosophy]], the [[science]]s, or any discussion that either mentions or makes use of a notion of truth. A truth theory can be anything from a ''casual theory'', based on implicit, informal, and vaguely articulated ideas, to a ''[[formal theory]]'', constructed from explicit [[axiom]]s and [[definition]]s and developed by means of definite ''[[rules of inference]]''. The scope of a truth theory can be restricted to tightly-controlled and well-bounded universes of discourse or its horizon may extend to the limits of the human imagination. | + | A '''truth theory''' or a '''theory of truth''' is a conceptual framework that underlies a particular conception of truth, such as those used in art, ethics, logic, mathematics, philosophy, the sciences, or any discussion that either mentions or makes use of a notion of truth.
