Most philosophers have largely downplayed any relevance of multiple
meanings of the folk concept of truth in the empirical domain. However, confusions
about what truth is have surged in political and everyday discourse. In order
to resolve these confusions, we argue that we need amore accurate picture of how
the term‘true’ is in fact used.Our experimental studies reveal that the use of ‘true’
shows substantial variance within the empirical domain, indicating that ‘true’ is
ambiguous between a correspondence and a coherence reading.We then explore
the consequences of these results for the project of re-engineering truth.
