Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

There is no definitive answer as to "What is truth?" To Socrates, investigation and knowledge of the "real" facts led to truth.
