The word truth in human geography refers to a valid claim. Truths are considered by various thinkers over a long time.

In the 19th century, Friedrich Nietzsche lived in the middle of an era of rising industrialization, positivism and secularism. A lot of previous ´truths´ were eliminated.

Jacques Derrida, in the 20th century, developed a concept of deconstruction truths by examining power structures.
