In the present paper, I assume that the notion of "truth" in philosophy would not have been clarified and tackled properly, if philosophers did not take into account earlier Arabic Medieval research contributions and build upon previous research findings. In the first place, I embark on the scrutiny of the rich aspect (or nature) of the Arabic Lexicon in terms of the "truth" meaning. In the second place, I take on the assumption that Arabic linguistic traditions imply different kinds of truths, depending on various spheres of human thoughts and actions based on the logical approach to "truth" (from Al-Kindi up to Averroes via Al-Farabi and Avicenna) and the term "al-haqiqha" as transliterated from Arabic, remain central. In conclusion, I take on an approach to "truth" that gives worth to logical perspectives at the very heart of Medieval Arab traditions in the light of what I would label as the "Omni-cultural Universality of Logic and Science". Keywords:Truth, Arabic philosophy, haqiqha, Omni-cultural universality, Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Avicenna, Averroes(original abstract)
