Logically, confirmation is different from testifying in that the former merely presents 'what' a proposition is while the latter could also present 'why' the proposition is. For a judge to get a complete inner conviction in respect of a case, he must know not only the"what"but also the"why". So, in the proving of a lawsuit, the authorizing criterion of a proposition consists of the confirming criterion and the testifying criterion of t ruth. Confirming criterion of t ruth asks for the correspondence of the proposition and empirical evidences, while testifying criterion of truth asks for the correspondence of the proposition and scientific evidences. Compared with the t ruth in the sense of guaranteeing criterion, the so-called truth here is what is thought to be truth or what is sensed to be true. So it is relatively, and is fallible. |
