Abstract

This article explores the meaning and boundaries of the conception of truth in Mesopotamia and Greece. The two cultures show similarities and differences, but Mesopotamian scholarship never developed a concept of truth as conformity to ‘what is’. On the contrary, Greek philosophy separated truth and falsehood in epistemological and ontological terms.
