The study of truth using Sovietology/Kremlinology methods: analyzing how truth claims are produced, authorized, and contested in different social arenas. Truthology treats truth not as a correspondence between propositions and the world, but as an institutional accomplishment—something that is made, maintained, and sometimes unmade. It examines the social practices (cross‑examination, peer review, replication) that stabilize truth, the power relations that authorize truth‑tellers, and the ways that “truth” is used to close down dissent. Truthology does not deny that truth exists; it asks how truth works in practice.
Example: “Her truthology research examined how courtroom truth differs from scientific truth from journalistic truth—each a different social practice with its own rituals, authorities, and standards.”

Anderson Cooper: "Mr. Trump, many activists are demanding that you apologize for claiming that you will build a wall along the US-Mexico border if elected president. What do you have to say to them?"

Trumpology ex #2:
Reporter: "Johnny, now that you've been released from the Browns, are you going to clean up your act?"
Johnny Manziel: "I'm living out in LA with my guy, Von Miller. We might be partying six nights a week but we're trying to get our lives together, bro. I just wanna ball, bro. I don't think there's anything wrong with partying, bro. There's a difference between partying and being out of control."
