truth claim

noun

, Pragmatism.

The intellectualist accounts of truth have all failed to make this vital distinction between 'truth-claim' and validated truth.

The correspondence theory, then, does not test the truth-claim of the assertion; it only gives a fresh definition of it.

Thus, once again, we find that an account of truth-claim is being foisted on us in place of a description of truth-testing.

Belief may even be a condition of the success of the truth claim.

It shows that the good aimed at by a "truth claim" is only attainable by the exercise of the will to believe.
