Truth has two basic forms. There is “ontological” truth and “logical” truth. Of these two, ontological truth is the more basic. By ontological truth we refer to the truth of being or existence. Something is said to be ontologically true, then, if it actually exists; it has real being. The lamp sitting on my desk is ontologically true because it is really there. It is not an illusion. The opposite of ontological truth is nonexistence.
