This article presents the complexity of the issues involved in attempting to define the concept of truth. This complexity is evident right from the lexical level, as evidenced by the outlined analysis of words denoting truth such as the Polish prawda, the Greek αλήθεια and the Hebrew אֱמֶת. Neither within philosophy has a single, satisfactory conception of truth been developed so far that encompasses all possible meanings and connotations associated with this concept. One of the more recent attempts to develop a comprehensive concept of truth has been made on the basis of universalist personalism. Based on the postulate of shifting the emphasis from the cognisability of essence to the fact of existence, the research offers hope for significant progress in the understanding of truth and veracity.
