Summary/Abstract: In this paper we trying to draw attention to the problem of the concept oh "truth". Nowadays, however, bothers us deep skepticism abaout the possibility of its recognition. Philosophers for centuries tried to formulate various definitions and conceptions truths and truthfulness. These conceptions and definitions, rooted in own epistemology, lose the solid theory of cognition, more and more are escaping into problems of the meaning, sense, the nature of the judgment, and also language. It isn't possible to say that we have the truth, but also this state of affairs doesn't mean that we have the licence of creating the truth for instance for needs of sociotechnical steering the society. Immersed in the intuitions of truth, the focus is now only on its usefulness. Is this a good way?
