Then what is the difference
Are they synonym or have specific difference?
Well, the truth itself is the way things are, and like you're saying, there isn't so much we can do to further define that But there's a second consideration, which is that humans make claims about the way things are These claims may be considered as sequences of characters, or noises, or perhaps patterns of mental activity And we call some of these claims true, and other claims.

There is no absolute truth because we as humans are restrained from ever knowing it is fallacious, what humans can know imposes no restriction on what is And this will only be a way out of the paradox after it specifies which axioms of classical logic are supposed to be dropped, and shows that what is left is enough and otherwise reasonable There are several options described in standard. If they do, then you found truth, otherwise, you did not

Apologies if this question has been asked before, i looked at similar ones and couldn't find one that answered this exact question Is there such a thing as truth completely independent of conditio. Since subjectivity refers to how someone's judgment is I came across this philosophical thought
