The paper aims to discuss the concept of truth in its relation with causality. More exactly, the relation of causality between… causality and truth recognition is exposed and debated. The three types of truth are presented and examined in the light of the paper purpose. So, the specific truth in the economic (or social) field is identified as a concordance-truth, depending from the hermeneutics the subject-observer uses when searching for the truth (or the true state of an economic result). This type of truth is compared with other two such types: the correspondence-truth and the coherence-truth (first, in the sciences of nature, the second, in the abstract methods of knowledge: mathematics and logic). The paper also discusses some consequences of the concordance-truth type, putting into attention certain crucial questions in knowledge and praxeology.
