In classical logic, propositions are typically unambiguously considered as being true or false. For instance, the proposition one is both equal and not equal to itself is regarded as simply false, being contrary to the Law of Noncontradiction; while the proposition one is equal to one is regarded as simply true, by the Law of Identity. However, some mathematicians, computer scientists, and philosophers have been attracted to the idea that a proposition might be more or less true, rather than wholly true or wholly false. Consider My coffee is hot. In mathematics, this idea can be developed in terms of fuzzy logic. In computer science, it has found application in artificial intelligence. In philosophy, the idea has proved particularly appealing in the case of vagueness. Degrees of truth is an important concept in law. The term is an older concept than conditional probability. Instead of determining the objective probability, only a subjective assessment is defined. Especially for novices in the field, the chance for confusion is high. They are highly likely to confound the concept of probability with the concept of degree of truth. To overcome the misconception, it makes sense to see probability theory as the preferred paradigm to handle uncertainty. (Wikipedia).
What is Truth? | Episode 1405 | Closer To Truth
Everyone wants to know ‘Truth’. But what is Truth? People argue about Truth; people fight about Truth—consider politics and religion. But what is the basic meaning of Truth itself? Featuring interviews with Simon Blackburn, Raymond Tallis, John Hawthorne, John Hick, and Michael Shermer. S

David Deutsch - What is Truth?
Defining 'truth' is an ancient question that in the age of science should find resolution and agreement. But this is not so. Even today, #truth remains elusive. Can truth be objective or must it always be relative? Click here to watch more interviews with David Deutsch http://bit.ly/1xAaX
