I'd include:
* scientific and mathematical facts that can be replicated and proven; i.e., the sun rises in the east, 2 + 2 = 4, water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen
* facts that I and/or many others have observed; i.e., God does (or does not) exist, Adolf Hitler was a megalomaniac, global warming is a threat to our way of life

Thanks for you input. Can you think of anything related to Socrates regarding truth? I have found alot of information about him. Im not so sure Im correct tho. This is for my philosophy final, so I want to be sure that I stick with the topic.....The question is exactly that....What is Truth?
There is no definitive answer as to "What is truth?" To Socrates, investigation and knowledge of the "real" facts led to truth.
