Veritas (truth).
"Truth is not independent of mind; it is necessary that for any proposition p, p is true only if it is believed, and if and only if it is believed by God....every proposition has essentially the property of being true only if believed, and if and only if believed by God. In the same way propositions themselves, the things that are true or false, are not independent of mind. It is necessary that a proposition p exists only if it is conceived or thought of or the object of some other propositional attitude, for it is necessary that every proposition is conceived of by God; furthermore, every proposition has essentially the property of being conceived or thought of, for every proposition has essentially the property of being conceived by God." -Alvin Plantinga, "How to be an Anti-Realist."
