Term:

Truth

Quote:

A proposition should be defined as that which professes to be true, or assigns a logical value to itself. The Truth is defined as that logical value which a proposition assigns to itself. Whether or not there really is such value, whether there is any truth is a question, not of definitions, but of fact.
