  • Defining ‘truth’ is an ancient question that in the age of science should find resolution and agreement. But this is not so. Even today, truth remains elusive. Can truth be objective or must it always be relative? Is truth the exclusive domain of science? Or can different truths be apprehended beyond science? What does philosophy say about truth?

    Most Americans are invariably attracted to pragmatism, and ofcourse there is the political underpinning to it as well. But Kuhn really sounds ignorant when he says that the logical inconsistency of the relativist position is just a cheap shot (ofcourse that is precisely what a pragmatist would say). Maybe he still believes that Humean empiricism is an unsurpassable horizon of all philosophical positions (which would then make him an idealist, as pointed out by the realist philosophers)

  • @pazitor

    I love being an instrumentalist and not worrying about, say, having to prove or demonstrate correspondence, a devilishly impossible enterprise. Reliable results suit me fine. There is little value in seeking absolute truth in a universe that is defined by change. The best you get is things that are so basic that they can be considered universals, or "laws", but our deepest understanding of them is, well, always subject to change.
    Long version:
    Reality is mind dependent, yes, but the physical and the conceptual remain separate nonetheless. We may only "know" the models, but they are drawn from objectively repeatable experiments. The double slit conundrum is better explained by the limited bits of information in simple particles (limited degrees of freedom to express) than it is on a fundamental reliance on consciousness to collapse wave functions. Anyway...
    In all this debate, there are really three main observable sources for truth humans use, with caveats. To wit: science via observation, philosophy via reasoning, and faith via revelation. (Plus art (concept made real, real made conceptual) and mathematics, which can derive potential new observations from the body of experimental observations.) Each of us will have their preferred take on each of these.
    But the kicker is that the earliest form of what was considered "truth", religious canon, has sort of tilted the game overmuch toward absolutism across the board, even in early science. That is, by defining truth as absolute and unchanging in time or circumstance, it led early philosophers to then seek their own valid truth statements (a la Aristotle) instead of relying on observation and on counting (probability), which is what good science does as practiced today. Contradiction, as in "this statement is false", is a human construct and as such automatically pertains to conceptual reality, which is unconstrained, unlike physical reality, so no big deal. What about QM, one might say. One might, but since we don't care anymore about absolutes, probability is the go-to substitute.
    In science, we do not seek to make truth statements, only to construct valid and useful descriptions and models. To a philosopher, finding a black swan ruins the truth statement about all swans being white. But to a scientist, the first black swan is merely added to the database; " swans white, swan black". No "truth" is overthrown.

    Good arguments! But I think "truths about the geography of England" etc. are bit more slippery than Tallis makes out. If we give, say, a distance between Manchester and London, we've got to decide how to define the start and end points, the level of accuracy we're going to specify to, how we're going to measure it and how that method is verified, etc etc. There just isn't a single objective answer. There is a possible range of approximate answers in different forms with caveats and justifications, which will satisfy the mixture of correspondence, coherence and pragmatic conditions discussed.

      The reasons is that their are only a select few world class champions is most people are lazy and do not want to put in world class work.
      God want the relationship so it is up to God to reveal itself in a way a person will accept. For example say a man approaches a woman and he smells, his breath stinks, his clothes are dirty and is poorly groomed. He will get rejected. Him going on the internet complaining that he is a nice guy and a woman rejected him won’t accompany anything. In order to get the response he want he has to study the woman he likes and tailor his presentation to what she likes.
      If God is not presenting himself / herself or itself in a way that a person would accept then it’s God’s fault for being rejected and regulated to not being real.

      Robert is right , The burden of proof lies with someone who is making a claim, and is not upon anyone else to disprove. The inability, or disinclination, to disprove a claim does not render that claim valid, nor give it any credence whatsoever. However it is important to note that we can never be certain of anything, and so we must assign value to any claim based on the available evidence, and to dismiss something on the basis that it hasn't been proven beyond all doubt is also fallacious reasoning.

    Is truth divisible into coherent truths and conscious truths? If so how does one affect the other? Through meaning or through objects?
    We can see stars with the naked eye, but because of telescopes and radio astronomy some of those stars, the moving ones, have come to be seen as planets. Others are said to be galaxies, quasars, and nebulae. Not only objects but objects in the past, not as they are now.
    I can still only see lights at night with my naked eye. Through coherent truth reinforced by conscious truth those lights have have come to "mean" something other than mere points of light. How and why?
    My personal consciousness has not changed, I can still only see so far, but my perspective of what I sense is altered. Whether it is "fundamentally" altered or only coherently altered is another thing altogether.
    I submit that my personal consciousness has not "fundamentally" changed, it has only self-consciously changed. I cannot see planets and galaxies with my unaided eyes, I can only see them with my third eye. To be able to see planets and galaxies could only be accomplished by evolutionary means. Personal consciousness does not evolve by coherency only by genes. Are there animal genes that allow other animals to perceive planets and stars? If so how can they be safely grafted onto human dna, and would that be advantageous or disadvantageous?

It only aired for 2 seasons on PBS, in 2000 & 2003, then became "Closer to Truth: Cosmos. Consciousness, God, launched in 2008, with 20 full seasons to date, and monetized on CZcams with a further 4000 episodes. If Kuhn was serious about getting closer to the truth he would admit the truth that after thousands of episodes he's no closer to the truth than he was at the outset. The only real truth is that his bank account has grown as a result of the gullible viewers. Can one expect a man who stated that China's leadership is not authoritarian to actually care about truth?

      @@FishHeadSalad Even in beauty, what people find beautiful is often universally shared. For example beautiful landscapes and wonders of nature, nobody could deny the beauty in that. Even in moral behaviour there is a universal 'do as you wish to be done to' type of moral code that most humans have. Even in child raising, every parent wants the best for their child. What is 'best' is obviously debatable though.

    Pilate asked the lord Jesus ? What is truth ?
    The real truth is beyond our understanding.. That means its universal and eternal, real truth never changed.
    "He who does not want to know the truth hides the truth, but the truth always reveals itself and shines."
    people live on earth, they divide truth into two parts, one is called relative truth and the other is called absolute truth.
    This kind of reality is an idea that contains 50% reality. Because this is the only reality we understand in this universe. When we come to this kind of reality, it changes with the advent of new technology and new findings and research results. But there is only one reality, and that reality was before the creation of the world. The earthly reality relative and absolute truth are measured by this objectively. "Truth" but the real truth is always the same and tested.
    Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
    When you know the truth, the truth sets you free. This means that the truth will set you free from false ideas and false information about everything. In this world and beyond the grave. In general, the truth will help you avoid confusion.
    Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37 KJV
    lets see this example
    Pilate saith unto the lord , What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. “What is the truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.”
    Pilate did not find any wrong in Jesus, then set him free.
    and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
    to be free, must first know the truth , then the truth will set you free.
    Because of "lack of truth," people do not live forever after death.
    Truth is deeply connected to all life on planet Earth and beyond. A man lives forever when he knows only what is true.
    To know Jesus Christ is eternal life. John 17:3
    the lord has come to planet Earth to reveal the truth.
    This means that only the truth can give you eternal life.
    But before that, the truth must see you free; If you don't truly free yourself by truth, you will never be free.
    Therefore truth means man. A person who wants to know the truth must know that truth
    that truth is a a person.
    Pilate found no fault with Jesus because Christ is truth. People are set free when they find the truth that we know they are innocent. God gives people eternal life because they know the truth.
    Eternal Life Jesus Christ. If you do not know Christ, you do not have eternal life. Because eternal life is hidden in Christ.

    3:18 Is the great revolving door flaw; the standpoint of the 'empiricists nominal pragmatic' approach which is faulty within itself due to no proper analyst of it's own objective relation or its 'means'. Merely & always arbitrary at its core. This is the hardcore 'materialists' errrrrrring; in other words: "the finite being is the measure of all" and the inane religion of "if I can not touch it it doesn't exist" bandwagon.
    Nominal -- existing in name only. The definitions and titles we give to 'things' are only from the 'things' attributes or effects and not based on the principle or archtype itself. Merely do we see and 'know of' things from its effect. Teleology is only part of the truth and one based on the object - subject relation, which is already limited and obscured.
    Empiricist -- perhaps information rather than Knowledge, but this is simply preposterous. Your sensual belief in 'object-subject'experience will act as an ancor slowing your progress down.
    Pragmatic -- ignoring the Faculties of Soul; the Intellect and Reason. You know only what's 'hot' from that which is 'cold; you know what's cold from only that which is hot. Do you actually know what 'hot' or the quality of 'hotness' is in itself? Okay, perhaps not, but let's not play pretend here and realize via negativa. Affirmations are good, and one must realize it's only seeming "true" to your relation, or object-subject.
    ^ is materialism. Maybe you're OK with being stuck at the bus stop?
    Soyouknow, there's no bus coming for you.

    Listening to two people try to talk about the fundamental nature of truth without mentioning probabilities is like listening to to two people try to talk about the fundamental nature of matter without mentioning subatomic particles.
    The fundamental nature of "truth" is actually a pretty easy concept to understand once you understand that there is no such thing as absolute certain truth. In a world where both false memories and false logic exist, you will always have to leave a little room for doubt, no matter how confident you think you are (there are many extremely confident people who are wrong). Therefore failure to leave room for at least a minute probability of being wrong is incomplete and fallacious. However, that doesn't mean that we can't DEFINE "truth" such that it exists on a spectrum, it only means that probabilistically no truth is 100% certain. We can even define the statement "unicorns exist" as a truth statement whose truth value is close to, but does not equal zero (ie the probability of it being true is ~ 0).
    ANY piece of knowledge can be reduced to a probability or series of probabilities. Note that probabilities aren't just numbers. Probabilities are always accompanied by a CONCEPT. I challenge anyone to try and come up with any piece of knowledge or truth statement that can't be expressed as probabilities (or gut probabilities) and a concept.
    Now notice that this logically implies that everything I've just said also has a non 100% probability of being true. But just because something is not 100% dosen't logically imply that it's wrong, or that the probability of it being true is zero. There is nothing fallacious about saying there's a 99.9999999999% probability that no knowledge is 100% certain. You can try to argue that the probability is higher or lower but not that it's not 99.9999999999 just because it's not 100%
    The ultimate arbiter of truth is the probability. Two truth statements have the same validity/value if they have the same probability of being true.

    Truth is what is. What is is that Jesus is the son of God, he is the way, the truth and the life. The only way to the father. In Jesus is fullness of joy. He loves you, died that you may be cleansed of your sin and have a right standing with the father and rose again as a testament to his
    accomplished assignment which was atoning for mankinds sin. Therefore repent, believe and be baptized in his name for the remission of your sin.

    He is substituting random factoids and stating them as relating to objective truth.
    It rather avoids the question imho

      At the start he gave a quick and standard overview of philosophical conceptions of truths and even alluded (when he mentioned if snow is white) to Tarski's definition of truth. He basically answered what you think he didn't.

    There is no truth. It’s all relative and perceived.

      But isn't that a truth in itself that all is relative? That sounds like an absolute truth that everything is relative. This is a sincere question.

      @Olivia Maynard Pilate didn't care to know. Pilate already had a god: Caesar. He wasn't going to forsake his position and future in the Roman history for an itinerant Jewish preacher who claimed to be the Creator of the universe. How many prominent people today will give up everything for Jesus?

      @Olivia Maynard Jesus had already preached the truth for 3 years. Pilate knew the story. Jesus said, "I Am the Truth, the Way and the Life, nobody comes to the Father but by me."
