Philosophy of Epistemology: Theories of Truth

Pragmatism:A pragmatic theory of truth that can not be conceived of the truth of a belief in the world. So, for example, if we say that an apple is red, we can not say that it is a red balloon or a clown's nose. The discovery of truth occurs only through interaction with the world.

The science lab example is an example of knowledge-how. This means that knowing how to do and accomplish something. This involves skills or, at least, abilities. The second example of psychology and sociology theories being used is an example of knowledge-wh because it gets us asking the questions whether who, why, what and is also a propositional knowledge.

Another example I think would be such things as psychology or any scientific theory for that matter. There are many psychology and sociology theories that are applied every day in careers such as in therapy or in law to understand the thought process of an individual and try to figure out why they are the way they are.

I think that a good example of this is doing labs in science class. This is because if we hear a statement that two things will cause a certain reaction if they are combined then we must complete the action to figure out if the statement is true or false.

correspondence:The correspondence theory of truth states that it is related to the world and whether it accurately describes, or corresponds, with that world. This is as close as we come to "objective" knowledge, and knowledge of objects as "things in themselves."

Both of these examples of the correspondence theory of truth and the way it is relayed to the world are examples of knowledge that. Knowledge-That is a propositional knowledge and declarative knowledge It is the kind of knowledge of where is it? Assuming that it might rain because it is dark and cloudy out on a particular day is declarative knowledge. And the example of the map is also an example of knowledge that because the map declares that the countries are where they are and have the names that they have.

Another great example of the correspondence theory would be the world map. The world map gives us an idea of where the countries are, their names, and the names and orientations of the countries on the map are true because it accurately describes and corresponds with the real world that we live in. This makes the map and its correspondence to the real world true.

I think that an example of this is looking at the sky and guessing that if it is cloudy out if its going to rain sometime soon. Or if it is sunny then we might have a beautiful warm day out.

Consistency:The coherence theory of truth bases the truth of a belief on the degree of coherence - or aligns - with all other beliefs in a system of beliefs. One example would be a popular set of beliefs - if everyone else agrees that something is the truth, then it must be so.

These two examples of consistency theory are both examples of Knowledge by Acquaintance which is obtained through a direct causal (experience-based) interaction between people and people. As well as the math example is also an example of knowledge-how.

Another example I think would be if a teacher says that there is a quiz next Tuesday and the students all know that the teacher said that the quiz is next Tuesday. But its Monday morning and the teacher wants to give out the quiz but all of the students remember the teacher saying the quiz was next Tuesday. This means that if all of the students remember the teacher saying the quiz was next Tuesday then that is the truth and the teacher is wrong because the teacher's beliefs are different from the rest of the students.

An example of consistency theory is math. In math, there are many rules and steps that need to apply to come to the conclusion of a problem. For example, if the rest of the class used the quadratic theory to come to one conclusion and one person got a different answer than the answer that everyone else agrees with must be true. And the one person who got the answer wrong must have just used the formula wrong.
