Add a quote from the Koons & Pickavance reading. Need more discussion on why objective truth is important and valuable, and why the particular truth you’ve mentioned is important and valuable. Need more, and in particular more on how the example that is in your writing connected to the rest of the paper: what exactly is the important truth here, what is the truthmaker for it, etc? It’s just a matter of making sure everything that you’re thinking about in your own mind makes its way to the page so that the reader can see it too.

In the modern context, truth refers to the state or quality of a given aspect being true, thus authenticity and "truth to self." The pursuit of truth is quite often perceived to be valuable to self and therefore scientist and philosopher are just but some of the key figures who in their profession they seek truth in a given phenomenon. Hence for one to conclude a given theory, it has to be proven hence the process of establishing a theory merely is finding the truth. In this essay, I will take a look at the different aspects of truth and the values that are held by the truth. An objective view of truth Objectivity is considered to be the central concept of philosophy. Hence in this case objective means being independent of perceptions. Consequently, objectivity will imply the quality of being independent of perception. Objectivity is generally the aspect of being true even outside the range of individual bias. A proposition is viewed as objectively true. The correspondence theory argues that the truth of falseness of a given statement is guaranteed by its relation to the world and its description of the world it relates with. Correspondence theory holds that true statement and beliefs correspond to the actual state of affairs. Hence this concept tends to explain the objectivity of truth using facts in one hand and statements on the other. Surname 2 Truthmaker in this context explains the virtue of being true, and in this case, it defined the entity in virtue that makes the truth bearer true. When creating a statement an individual is defined to have given a true or false statement by the use of the truthmaker which in this case defines the relationship of the statement to the real world. The truthmaker theory explores the relationship that truth has with everything that exists. In simple terms individuals will always give a true statement that relates to what exists and what doesn't exist is complemented as a theory hence to find the truth to what still doesn't exist implies utilization of all the aspect of the truthmaker. Different things count as, and top on the list include what exists. In the sense that any time a statement is made the listeners to the statements will always relate it to what exists and see if it makes sense. Hence sentences can describe the relation to the present aspect then listeners will comment that the truth bearer is true in his or her statements. Correspondence relation is a function that points out the objective significance of a statement and the world. For instance, when an individual is receiving listening to a statement, the first aspect that reflects in his or her thought is whether the statement is true or false hence in the process the same individual will try and related the statement to what is existing or happening in the world. Therefore true beliefs and sentences have a definite relation to existing aspects in the world. In short true beliefs and statements are subjects that one can relate to. While on the other hand false statement and beliefs cannot identify the relationship between the different aspect of the world. Hence a belief or statement that has no relation to what exists is either a theory of false statement. The objective view of truth makes sense because true statements are met without bias. Hence, the truth is identified with no perception. Surname 3 Application of the objective view of truth I class its truth quantifies every statement made. For instance, when a teacher or a student makes a statement, it lies upon the class to identify whether it is true or false. The same way I apply the same concepts to the actual state of welfare in my neighborhood where the level of insecurity has escalated during the recent years. Unfortunately, my younger cousin got caught up in a crossfire and was hospitalized. The truth about the level of insecurity in my neighborhood is relevant because in actual occurrence school children die getting caught in gang vs. gang or gang vs. police shooting. I believe that the truth about the current situation is important because the outcome is not fair to most of the residents that reside in my neighborhood. Conclusion In every statement, the aspect of truth and false is always key because individuals will tend to find a way of separating perception to what exists in the world. The objectivity to truth is important because it is the concept that every individual relates to while trying to establish the genuineness of a statement. The idea of truth being objective is because no matter what every individual holds as a case certain aspects of statements will always be considered to be true while other will be false. People will always adapt to the experiences they have to validate the truth. For instance, is a key is left in the kitchen at night it is true to say that the holder will wake up and find it in the kitchen rather than the hallway. Surname 4 Works cited Foley, Barbara C.

Truth and its Value
Introduction
Truth is in many circumstances used to define accordance to a fact or reality. In the modern
context, truth refers to the state or quality of a given aspect being true, thus authenticity and
"truth to self." The pursuit of truth is quite often perceived to be valuable to self and therefore
scientist and philosopher are just but some of the key figures who in their profession they seek
truth in a given phenomenon. Hence for one to conclude a given theory, it has to be proven hence
the process of establishing a theory merely is finding the truth. In this essay, I will take a look at
the different aspects of truth and the values that are held by the truth and the way to establish the
truth from previous mistakes. “In order to learn from our past experiences, we have to assume
that we have not yet observed al future events” (Koons and Pickavance page 58).
An objective view of truth
Objectivity is considered to be the central concept of philosophy. Hence in this case objective
means being independent of perceptions. Consequently, objectivity will imply the quality of
being independent of perception. Objectivity is generally the aspect of being true even outside
the range of individual bias. A proposition is viewed as objectively true. The correspondence
theory argues that the truth of falseness of a given statement is guaranteed by its relation to the
world and its description of the world...
