Truth is a process, not a property:
“The truth of an idea is not a stagnant property inherent in it. Truth *happens* to an idea. It *becomes* true, is *made* true by events. Its verity *is* in fact an event, a process, the process, namely, of its verifying itself, its veri-*fication*.”
William James (1907). Pragmatist’s conception of the truth. https://doi.org/10.2307/2012189

#pragmatismus in der tradition von #WilliamJames sucht nach unterscheidungen, welche einen praktischen unterschied machen.
(aber wem muss ich das hier erklären ;-)
