→Truth as a Value
Truth can be considered to be a morally desirable trait in a person, since it is the antithesis of "undesirable" traits such as [[deceit]] or [[corruption]]. [[Christian]]s in particular uphold Truth as a desirable value, since it is something taught by the [[Bible]], and [[Jesus]] himself.

As a rule, liberals do not hold Truth (in the absolute sense) to be an important value. They believe that truth is [[Subjectivism|subjective]], and everyone can freely decide on his own version of truth, see [[moral relativism]] or [[nihilism]], also [[phenomenology]] and [[epistemology]].
