The paper aims at identifying similarities and differences between two different ways of using the word "true", on the one hand when it is used to refer to a specific characteristic of what we say or think about, here called "words' truth", on the other when it is used to refer to a characteristic of whatever (as when we say "he is a true friend"), here called "things' truth". The main thesis here defended is that such similarities and differences may be usefully described starting from the feature of truth called "transparency" which is often considered as exclusively pertaining to words' truth.

Abstract

The paper aims at identifying similarities and differences between two different ways of using the word "true", on the one hand when it is used to refer to a specific characteristic of what we say or think about, here called "words' truth", on the other when it is used to refer to a characteristic of whatever (as when we say "he is a true friend"), here called "things' truth". The main thesis here defended is that such similarities and differences may be usefully described starting from the feature of truth called "transparency" which is often considered as exclusively pertaining to words' truth.
