 Have you experienced to
believe in something or
someone but later on you
found out that it is not true?
How did you feel? How did
you know the truth?
OBJECTIVES:
1. distinguish the different ways of
understanding
truth;
2. explain the criteria to
distinguish truth in an argument;
3.recognize the value of
distinguishing truth in an argument.
A. Question:
1. What do you think truly
happened to the man
why he was able to wake
up from the comatose
state?
 
Take note in the
differences of your
opinions about the
given situation.
B. QUESTIONS:
1. Who do you think among
you is more correct?
What makes you think so?

2. What is truth? What do

we mean when we say that
something is true?
 
According to JURGEN HABERNAS
in his Universal Pragmatics, or
the study of the structure of
communicative language as we
use it everyday, that apart from
scientific truths, there are other
domains in life which we
understand truth differently.
DOMAINS OF TRUTH

1. OBJECTIVE DOMAIN
- Scientific truth

- Based on facts

- That can be proven

2. SOCIAL DOMAIN
- products of an “agreement” in
society that has been
established over time.
- getting a consensus or having
people agree on a common
belief.
3. PERSONAL DOMAIN
- Truth is analogous with
sincerity.

- based on the authenticity of a

person.
So when we ask “what is
truth?”It is important to
know from what domain we
are asking this question, so
we can also know in what
way we can test whether or
not a claim is true.
• According to Richard
Rorty ,1989, there is a simple way
of defining Truth: Truth c can be
understood as what has passed
“procedures of justification”.

Justification means the process

of proving the truth or validity of
a statement.
 DIFFERENT
CRITERIA FOR
TRUTH
(JUSTIFICATION)
SCIENTIFIC/OBJECTIVE DOMAIN

– truths are tested against

empirical evidence.
- can be justified by data
gathered from careful
observation and
analysis.
 SOCIAL DOMAIN

- Truths are tested against

their acceptability to a
particular group in a
particular time in history.
 PERSONAL DOMAIN

-truths are tested against the

consistency and
authenticity of the person
who claims it.
QUESTIONS:
1. What are the domains of truth?

2. How do we know that something

is true based on each domains?

3. How truth in each domain is

being justified?

4. Why it is important for us to distinguish

the ways on how to understand truth?
 

 
To which domain of truth does each of
the following statement fall? Explain.
 
1. Don’t talk if your mouth is full.
2. The sun is the center of the
solar system.
3. I love you with all my heart.
