There are only two kinds of truth:
(a) Analytic truth where expressions of language are true on the basis
of their meaning. Example: "All dogs are animals."

(b) Empirical truth, expressions of language that rely on sense data
from the sense organs. Example: "There is a dog in my living room right 
now."
