This paper argues that J.L Austin´s theory of truth should be understood as the meeting point between a theory of correspondence with the idea of truth as a form of happiness. The paper begins by presenting Austin’s debates with the previous conceptions on the topic, as embodied by verificationism and the use of language movement. On the first point, Austin´s critique of the idea of truth as a criteria of significance is explained. On the second, the pragmatic elements developed by Austin in his theory of truth are expounded upon. On this basis, the paper presents the Austin´s proposal of truth as an evaluative element of certain acts of speech leading to the conclusion that truth should be understood as the evaluative criteria for the happiness or unhap-piness of said acts. Finally, the paper shows the amalgamation of a theory of correspondence with the idea of truth as a form of happiness in Austin´s theory of truth.
