Truth value

hypocrisies through manipulation is an unending game. What really are values? No, do not name me truths. Truths are existentially indifferent, but what do they really prove? Saying humans make mistakes is just a discoverable description. It is the subjective thought: THAT is where my work is done. This is the very essence of human nature. The moment a baby’s conscious is formed through operant conditioning is a moment of where values are forming. Society tells me I am immoral for harming…

It is natural and demonstrable that, given equivalent initial values, an exponential function will resolve to lower values than any linear function. If the exponential function is slow enough, which it may well be, it would be easy to conclude from observation that, since at no point has the exponential function exceeded the linear function…

question, of course, becomes how? How does a human being strive to seek God and cleave to Him and reach this blessed perfection? The answer requires self discovery but is found in freedom rightly ordered by a good conscience that is grounded in moral Truth. Hardly anyone would deny that “freedom is good.” In Veritatis Splendor, Saint John Paul II even stated, “Certainly people today have a particularly strong sense of freedom.” Despite freedom’s elevated connotation, people differ in their…

Inventing Right and Wrong, J. L Mackie responds to the conception of objective moral values. In his paper, he argues that the ordinary conception of morality on objective moral values are based on three principles; language, practice, and crises. (ELABORATE ON THESE THREE PRINCIPLES) He introduces the Error- Theory which explains that we are all generally mistaken about the fundamentals of objective moral values. Mackie addresses this argument by explaining that there is a certain…

point of view provides diversity in the understanding of religious practices. Plato’s notion of the Forms and the idea of a “God” as the source of “universal truths” cannot be valid, especially due to the variety of religious beliefs that exist in the world. Surely, many of these religious points of view reveal similarities of ethics and moral values, but the differing perspectives on the identity of the a higher power are a reality that cannot be denied. In this way, perspectivism is not a…

oft-quoted verse, we find God giving us a promise that He will heal our land if we follow through with these instructions. Moreover, aside from this great model, we also know that love is a great enactor of change, so long as it is firmly rooted in truth—unabated by the continuous assailing of the adiamorphic belief…

its quest for philosophical and epistemological truth. I will be looking deeply into perspectivism and then finding its inevitable failings as a philosophical and epistemological system for truth. This will first part of this paper will deal with what perspectivism is and what it means as a system for truth. The latter half of this paper will mainly focus on…

and geometric intuition was an improper way to prove a truth in analysis. He thought, though arguments appealing to space can be used to explain the truth of a proposition, such methods cannot justify the truth of a proposition. With the concept of “grounding” truths with basic truths, Bolzano…

Objectivism Objectivism is the old values that have been around for thousands of years, while subjectivism is the rebel. Objectivism is based more on belief, whereas subjectivism is subject to our minds. Objectivism is the old beliefs of pursuing truth. Some of the main points of pursuing objectivism include: reality, reason, and self interest. Subjectivism is the view that reality, the object, is dependent on human consciousness, the subject. Objective values lie within religion, and…

needs to get out of the way of scientific progress. “ And any progress- not just scientific progress- is easier when we’re not yoked to religious dogma.” Coyne argues for the value of science, a value that doesn’t have various religions arguing with one another about which one is right, there is simply one scientific truth. “In contrast, scientists don’t kill each other over matters such as continental drift. We have better ways to settle our differences.…
