In the three fields of knowledge - art, science and history, truth is very different and distinct from each other. Above all, the meaning and role that truth plays are very different. The Oxford dictionary definition of truth is “that which is true or in accordance with facts or reality” or “a fact or belief that is accepted as true”. Finding the truth in the three areas of knowledge depends greatly on how the person perceives the truth. Therefore truth is very subjective as it is perceived differently by different individuals. Truth is very difficult to find and distinguish in the arts since it is very broad and is an expression of an individual's emotions and feelings. Furthermore, it is very difficult to judge whether one's idea or work of art is right or wrong. Sense perception is a very important factor that influences how a person perceives and finds truth in art.

However, it may be that the landscape in the painting was as the artist perceived it when he first saw it. On the other hand, viewers could perceive the painting differently and create their own truth within themselves and in the painting. “The concept of art is completely subjective. People define their own truth.” The question, however, is whether the truth can be put into music, drama, written on paper or painted. To some extent truth can be translated or created in the form of art. Truth in natural sciences through reasoning and not sensory perception unlike the arts. The scientific method or laws can only be true if they could be reproduced by means of paper...unethical on how they treated the Korean people in the early 1900's. However some Japanese and the media would claim that they were providing technology, aid and assistance for our good. We can see that when personal emotions get involved in the story it is very difficult to find the truth, i.e. what really happened in the past. Works Cited Bastian, S. (2008). Theory of knowledge.
