3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 1. Truth

23884	Truth is a value of thought [Weil]
	Full Idea: Truth is a value of thought. The word 'truth' cannot have any other meaning.
	From: Simone Weil (Reflections on Value [1941], p.32)
	A reaction: This makes a nice change from truth being a mere predicate. I would call truth the criterion of success in thought, and that counts as a value, so she is right.
