   There are many theories of truth. I like the pragmatic theory of truth, where   
   put very simply, something is true if it works. Other theories are that truth   
   is   
   when something corresponds to a state in the world.   
      
   Ultimately, when it comes to the property of truth, I do not believe truth   
   exists in the world as an independent thing. I believe it is a process when our   
   consciousness meets the world, and that without consciuousness truth as we   
   understand it, does not exist.
