By Schubert Ogden
When one says that a belief, or a proposition forming the content of a belief, is true, one does two things:
1. one describes the belief as portraying reality as it really is, as distinct from how it may appear to be, be believed to be, or be said to be; and
2. one evaluates the belief in such a way as to commend the belief as good to believe, worthy of belief---in a word, credible.
