Trying to speak about anything ‘true’ in philosophical terms is nearly as bad as speaking in theological terms. While philosophy and natural philosophy existed the demarcation is complete, and science is reducible to testimony (truth) and philosophy reducible to preference (not truth).
There is no point in attempting to push on a string. Philosophy can’t do the job. It’s insufficient. Likewise, the truth cannot tell us what we should prefer. Only what consequences result from the choice of our preferences.
Even then, it’s pretty easy to science preferences, and then develop a set of rules of preference.
