Falsity (from Latin ''falsitas'') or falsehood is a perversion of truth originating in the deceitfulness of one party, and culminating in the damage of another party. Falsity is also a measure of the quality or extent of the falseness of something, while a falsehood may also mean simply an incorrect (false) statement, independent of any intention to deceive. In the Frege-Church ontology, "truth" is the denotation of a true proposition, while "falsity" is the denotation of false propositions. In æsthetics, falsity is ugly, and truth is beautiful. In existentialism, falsity is usually a thing to be avoided, and is not desired.〔''Why I AM Not A Christian'', Bertrand Russell〕 ==Examples== * Counterfeiting money, or attempting to coin genuine legal tender without due authorization; * Tampering with wills, codicils, or such-like legal instruments; * Prying into the correspondence of others to their prejudice; * Using false weights and measures, * Adulterating merchandise, so as to render saleable what purchasers would otherwise never buy, or so as to derive larger profits from goods otherwise marketable only at lower figures; * Bribing judges, * Suborning witnesses; * Advancing false testimony; * Manufacturing spurious seals; * Forging signatures; * Padding accounts; * Interpolating the texts of legal enactments; and * Sharing in the pretended birth of supposititious offspring are among the chief forms which this crime assumes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「falsity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
