What do we mean when we say something is true? Is truth a quality of something? An abstraction? How and on what basis do we believe things are true? In this session of Young Philosophers, we will explore the nature of truth and how we know what we know.
Young Philosophers is an online discussion for high-school-aged students. Join us for “What Is Truth?” on Monday, September 14, 2026, from 6-7 p.m. PDT. The discussion will be led by Gutenberg tutor Eliot Grasso.
Attendee Requirements: High-school age
