This article is a review of the ideas around the topic of truth, highlighting it as an eternal problem of philosophy. It highlights the need to understand the diverse perspectives of truth based on its apprehensive forms and complex historical-epistemological mediations. For this purpose, a conceptual review of the most notable definitions that this concept has had in the history of philosophy was carried out. The analytical method is used and the existing causal relationships are explored, as they are closely linked to the reflective essence of the human being, his needs and interests of all times. This is an eternal philosophical problem in the assumption of reality and its revelation as such. A critical systematization of the problem is proposed, considering conceptions of a rationalist, empiricist, realist, subjectivist, objectivist, fundamentalist, coherentist, reliabilist, skepticist and agnosticist nature. It concludes by recommending the approach of discursive plurality in the apprehension of the truth, including tropological language; so also the role of praxis as a basis, goal and criterion of truthfulness. It is aimed at education professionals, postgraduates and undergraduate students.
