From a scientific point of view, I think truth would be defined as a useful description of how reality is demonstrated to exist. From a philosophical point of view, I view truth as a statement about the world as it actually is, taking into account the limitations and shortcomings of language, probabilistic inference, and to summarize, derivations that originate in human brains.
...or something like that.
