Abstract
The article conceptualizes the idea of truth, analyses the basic conceptions of truth and the ways to test the genuineness of knowledge. The goal of the article is to determine the causes and sources of the diversity of the truth conceptions. Setting this goal is generated by the education and science methodology which includes the standards of choosing a point of view on the considered object. To reach this goal, the issue of the source of the author's (researcher's) truth conception is discussed. The author answers in the negative to the possibility of giving a univocal definition of the truth category; and in order to study the truth pluralism concept the author demonstrates its difference from the rivalry of various theories on the same subject.
