I believe 'a true statement' is really no more than what each individual person perceives as the 'truth,' and there is no 'higher' Platonic-like 'truth' away and beyond in the wild blue 'beyonder.' There is no supra-accuracy marking time and waiting to make a grand entrance from Mount Olympus by sliding down the bannister-rail of correctness on the winding staircase of veridicality to Platonistically trounce the various human competing perceptions of some noumenal truths, which scrabble around in the dust of the agora like mangy sophist Megatherians.

Excuse my longwindedness - but THE SIMPLE 'TRUTH' IS THAT TRUTH DOESN'T COME DOWN FROM ABOVE! 'WE,' (US - YOU AND I) DECIDE ON WHAT IS THE TRUTH AND WHAT IS NOT. Not Aristotle, nor some other long-dead Greek guy in history makes the decisions - intelligence didn't die with the Greeks!

Looking at it this way, a true statement is a true representation of the entities or arrangements of entities according to the perceptions of some worldly authority, which might be oneself (and usually is on this list) or other people of like mind, and the faithful representation of entities or arrangements and interactions of entities is something that people notoriously differ over in their evaluations and descriptions. [see Heidy archives] As for the 'Truth of 'Being.' [groan. ] - Well that's a double-dudded crackpot whammy if ever there was one - that's best stuck where Paddy stuck his ninepence!

"It behooves those who devote themselves to observation to be impressed by this truth [i. e., that many facts grow old] and to realise that the best work is only good in relation to its time, and that it awaits another, more exact and more complete." Pierre-Charles-Alexandre Louis, 1829.

Greekists take note!
