(1) The truth of an object is the object itself. Or: the truth of an object is its inherence in itself, its being what it is. Its truth is the faith it maintains with itself by its identity with itself.

(2) The truth about an object - the truth of the representations of that object - is the faith that the act of representing it or saying something about it keeps with it.

(3) A person is a thing and a representational system. The truth of the person is the faith that a person keeps with herself, and the truth of her representations is the faith she keeps with the world.
