A truth-bearer is an entity that is said to be either true or false and nothing else. The thesis that some things are true while others are false has led to different theories about the nature of these entities. Since there is divergence of opinion on the matter, the term truth-bearer is used to be neutral among the various theories. Truth-bearer candidates include propositions, sentences, sentence-tokens, statements, beliefs, thoughts, intuitions, utterances, and judgements but different authors exclude one or more of these, deny their existence, argue that they are true only in a derivative sense, assert or assume that the terms are synonymous,or seek to avoid addressing their distinction or do not clarify it.

Frank Wilczek - Why is the Universe So Breathtaking?
We look up and we look down and in both directions we chill with awe. We look up to the universe and envision hundreds of billions of galaxies. We look down to the atom and imagine minuscule, infinitesimal particles and forces. This is reality. And as human beings, strangely, we fit just a

Seyyed Hossein Nasr - What is God's Judgment?

Look at an old photo. Then look in the mirror. Those two images are of the same person, right? How so? They don't look the same. Their memories are different. And virtually every atom in their bodies is different. We feel unity across time, but is this solidified sense of self an illusion?
