[edit] Rarity of term
This term is rare, and the article should not provide the impression that this is an established field. In Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy (10 volumes) it is only mentioned once in the article "Lambert, Johann Heinrich (1728-77)". Quote: "Part Two of the Neues Organon is the ‘Alethiology or Doctrine of Truth’. Lambert’s key concern here is with the nature and function of the simple concepts that serve as the building blocks for the logical construction of true propositions. Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Version 1.0, London: Routledge". 195.215.206.245 22:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal with epistemology
I do not recommend a merging with epistemology, and I do not agree that epistemology can be said to be about "the study of absolute or factual truth". Some epistemological theories are, for example, based on the doctribe of fallibilism according to which there is no absolute truth. 195.215.206.245 22:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Merger proposal removed. Anarchia 21:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
