Summary/Abstract: The subject matter of truth cannot be separated from considerations on thinking and cognition. The remarks above point out the primordial nature of the concept of truth. Without this concept, human intellectual activity would be futile. All human thought would make no sense, and knowledge would be impossible. One can discern two layers of study of the subject matter of truth: understanding it and thinking about it. The sense of the concept of truth, expressing itself in what actually is, what really exists, remains unchanged. Only analyses and interpretations of what is real are diverse and changing. Thinking about the truth, although laden with historicity, diverse, and even nihilistic, does no harm to its basic sense.
