Truth

What is Truth? Have you ever wondered what the definition of truth is? Or how do we know whether something is true or false? These questions and many others related to this topic are frequently asked by philosophers and Scientifics from decades ago and even up to this day. However, one the most accepted theories among philosophers is the Correspondence Theory of Truth. In this paper I am going to analyze the point of view of one of the supporters of that theory, the philosopher Bertrand Russell…

harmful than the truth and can have long-term effects. The person behind the bullshitting typically doesn’t care about what is true and what is false, he just wants to convince you that he is right. Sometimes, the person doing the bullshitting even starts to believe there own bullshit because they don’t have the insight of what the truth really is anymore. I think these are all important reasons behind why Frankfurt calls relativism bullshit. Relativism is the idea that knowledge or truth only…

Truth is neither dead or alive, people are just people. People all lie but at the same time everybody tells the truth. If truth really was dead society would be crashing down but it’s not because there is still truth even though it’s getting hard to find. But truth isn’t alive either because everybody lies. But lying is a great skill to learn so we should have classes that teaches students to lie maybe even get a master's degree in it. Personal gain is one of the motives that people lie for.…

popular notions of "truth," "knowledge," and "history" actually skew our perceptions of the past, present, and future. The discourses and wisdom we acquire inevitably taint our relationships with matter, spatiality, and time.

If deception is the only way to reveal a vital truth, then the world should live without the truth. Deception is never the answer to a question you cannot answer. As a journalist, if you find yourself in the position where you feel as if you have exhausted all of your options, I believe that it is then time to keep trying because there is always a way. The way may never be easy, but any way is better than using deception as a tool for seeking the truth. Deception is a form of lying and lying is…

but is essential for the safety of a human life. By using the story of Anne Frank, Blanton gives the perfect example of how extremely crucial and rare the situation has to be for lying to be acceptable. Another example is in Article 4, “It’s the Truth: Americans Conflicted About Lying,” the author states “Not only is lying justified, it is sometimes a moral duty,” (NBC.com). This supports that mankind has a moral duty to protect each other in a life or death situation and a lie can actually be a…
