    The document discusses three theories of truth - the correspondence theory, the coherence theory, and the pragmatic theory. The correspondence theory holds that a statement is true if it corresponds to the facts. The coherence theory says a statement is true if it fits within a larger network of beliefs. The pragmatic theory sees truth as what is most useful and practical for an individual.
