Truth is that which is in accordance with reality. The opposite of truth is falsehood. A statement can be indicated to be true or false by evidence. One method of demonstrating the veracity of a claim is practical application: Ideas that are correct generally succeed in practice while those that are incorrect generally fail.^[1]^[2]

↑ “The question whether objective truth can be attributed to human thinking is not a question of theory but is a practical question. Man must prove the truth, i.e., the reality and power, the this-sidedness [Diesseitigkeit] of his thinking, in practice. The dispute over the reality or non-reality of thinking which is isolated from practice is a purely scholastic question.”
