Truth and truthfulness are traditional subjects of philosophy. The paper discusses different concepts of truth (epistemological, ontological, normative) and different theories about the acquisition of truth (truth as correspondence, coherence or consensus, pragmatic theories of truth, and truth as immediate subjective evidence). The last part deals with the moral question of truthfulness or sincerity and its conflict with benevolence in cases of patient information about a fatal illness.
真理与真实性是哲学的传统主题。本文讨论了不同的真理概念（认识论的、本体论的、规范性的）以及关于真理获取的不同理论（真理即符合、融贯或共识、实用主义真理理论以及真理即直接主观证据）。最后一部分探讨了真实性或真诚性的道德问题，以及在向患者告知致命疾病信息的情况下，它与仁爱之间的冲突。
