There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth: what things are [[truthbearer]]s capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that faith-based and empirically based [[knowledge]] play; and whether truth is [[Subjectivity\|subjective]] or [[Objectivity (philosophy)\|objective]], [[knowledge relativity\|relative]] or [[Absolute (philosophy)\|absolute]]. "[[Mathematics]]", which comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma, that which is learned), is essentially about how we can make true statements in abstract systems, build bodies of knowledge (true belief) in them and thus truth is a central concern, examined concept, in it. ==Definition and comparative orthography==
