    «Muchas verdades son pronunciadas, para que más puedan ser ocultadas», escribió el magistrado Darling en 1879. Empezando con una articulación de la distinción entre verdad (el fenómeno o concepto) y las verdades (proposiciones verdaderas particulares), este trabajo está en gran parte dedicado a: 1) desarrollar una explicación del doble significado de «parcialmente verdadero» —«verdad-en-parte» vs. «parte de la verdad»—, y 2) entender las razones, y los peligros, de la tendencia muy común a decir sólo parte de la verdad relevante.

    «Much truth is spoken, that more may be concealed», wrote Mr. Justice Darling in 1879. Opening with an articulation of the distinction between truth (the phenomenon or concept) and truths (particular true propositions), this paper is largely devoted to: 1) developing an account of the dual meaning of «partially true» —«true-in-part» vs. «part of the truth»—; and 2) understanding the reasons for, and the dangers of, the very common tendency to tell only part of the relevant truth.
