Question

Look up the definition of truth in Webster's 1828, 1913, and a recent edition. Are any of the elements in the entry the same over time? Which elements have changed? Specifically, how do the definitions, their order, the illustrative quotations, and the synonyms compare? What do the differences in these elements reveal about how the meaning of truth has changed over this period of time? What do you think is significant about this change when considered historically, socially, and spiritually? (Note: all dictionaries necessary to the completion of this project are available on the Internet.)

Answer 1

Answer: Change in definition of truth overtime.

Explanation:

When analysing critically the definitions of truth across three centuries, using the 19th, 20th and 21st century as our case study; some changes can be observed in this very important word which tells us about key virtues we posses as humans.

As observed in earlier definition of truth gotten from the definitions from the 19th and 20th century more references were made with respect to the Bible as a final authority to getting knowledge for man then. Taking examples from the quotation of the first book of corinthians, zechariah and John with a host of others found in earlier definition. But this is not the case with the recent definition of truth which doesn't even make a single reference to the Bible, showing how man has gradually shifted away from the Bible as a final say in knowledge.
