= Double truth
{wiki=Double_truth}
The concept of "double truth" refers to the idea that two contradictory statements can both be true in different contexts or frameworks. This notion has been discussed in various philosophical, theological, and literary contexts. One of the most notable historical uses of the term relates to the medieval scholastic philosophers, particularly those influenced by Aristotle and the later developments in Christian theology. The idea suggests that religious truths can coexist with philosophical or scientific truths, even if they appear to be contradictory.
