The document discusses various theories of truth: - Correspondence theory states that a statement is true if it corresponds to facts. - Coherence theory says truth is determined by the logical relationships between statements. - Pragmatic/inherent theory holds that something is true if it has a function in human life, such as religion. - Syntactic theory assesses truth based on whether a statement follows syntactic rules. - Semantic theory evaluates the correct meaning and reference of statements. - Logical-superfluity theory examines whether statements provide non-redundant information. The document explores applying theories of truth to scientific research to find facts.

3. Correspondence Theory
Example:
Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia
Statement Fact

4. Coherence Theory
According to this theory truth is not
constituted by the relation between a
judgment and something else, a fact or really,
but by relations between judgment
themselves.
Example:
 All of UNS students should pass the
examination
 Lodya is a UNS student
 Lodya should pass the examination

5. Inheren Theory /pragmatic Theory
Something is true when it has function in human
life.
Example:
Religion

6. Syntactic Theory
The statement to be true if statement follows
the standard rules of syntax.
Example:
• Eats banana
• Loyal eats banana

7. Semantic Theory
The correct meaning is gotten by the correct
reference and also can describing in definitive
term.
Example:
etymologically the word philosophy comes
from the Greek “philosophia” which means
'love of wisdom'. Such knowledge is expressed
properly if there is a clear reference.

8. Logical-Superfluity Theory
A circle is round. Basically, a circle is
composed of point series with the same
distance. The form will appear the rounded
line.
