Truth

examples that show man’s relationship with the truth. The oracle predicts the truth about the future of Laius, Jocasta, and Oedipus. Killing his father and marrying his mother are both examples of what the oracle predicted about them. In Oedipus Rex, Sophocles shows that, in the case of finding truth, if a man starts in search for the truth, he must find the whole truth, but if a man never starts in search for the truth, he can stay ignorant of the truth. The story of Oedipus shows that the…

What exactly is truth? If we look up the definition of truth it says, “The quality or state of being true.” We wonder what exactly does this mean? If we were to think about what is truth, we would discover that there is no defining line on what is true, and what is not true. There are several different theories on truth, which philosophers dispute. Truth is unalterable, it is lasting, and constant. Everyone has a different perspective on their truth. There is empirical truth that can be…

scientific proofs or in this case real universal truths in our modern world is that the earth is round. Through scientific discovery, imagery, and the development of true, irrefutable proof, agreed upon by many brilliant scientists, we have established that the Earth is in fact round or at least appears that way physically. For centuries the truth was that the Earth was flat. As recent as the last few days, B.O.B., a relatively famous musician (Not my Truth), has made headlines stating through a…

will to truth can be defined as the desire for truth. Indeed, this will constantly “tempt[s] us to many a venture,” and there are no questions that it has “not laid before us.” It has been long overdue however, in Nietzsche opinion, that we “finally become suspicious, lose patience, and turn away impatiently” regarding this phenomenon. In other words, while this will to truth has always invoked in us a fascination with the truth of external matters–that is, anything besides the will to truth…

of “what is truth?”. According to Karl Jaspers, the essence of philosophy is not the possession of the truth, but rather the search for truth. When then can we stop searching and take possession of truth? People have decided to stop at some point and take possession of what there think is true, while others still continue to search for truth. This is without thought the reason why there are so many religious beliefs and cultural beliefs. There are many philosophical theories of truth. We have…

The Truth in the Abyss When writing they say it is always best to tell the truth. I do not know who “they” are, but “they” seem to be vaguely arrogant, entirely omnipotent and the enforcers of way too many rules. That being said, the truth does not exist. Each person’s perspective of a situation is in and of itself a unique truth. My truth of that night is different than my mother’s. I will get to those truths, but first here is the beginning. Anxiety holds my hand while 3 a.m. holds my…

widespread deceit in the society is to see truth reality as relative. But truth is not relative; truth is and will always be absolute.

Politics hold one truth and that is, there is no simple truth. Political truth is adaptable, mutable and most of all relative. Sometimes it is even absent and even worst sometimes irrelevant. This is difficult for people as it is not the way we live our lives and this is perhaps the reason there is such a big wedge and difference between politics, politicians and people, for most people a sense of honesty underpins the way we deal with each other. Prime ministers ask the public to place their…

Truth is Good? One of the four key aspects of truth outlined in Michael P. Lynch’s book True to Life is that truth is good. I consider this statement to be slightly at fault and will try to explain my reasonings in this paper. First I will discuss Lynch’s sections in his book concerning truth being good. After that I will present ideas that contradict Lynch’s statement and discuss them. Some of the ideas that I will talk about are lies, pragmatism, importance, and the definition of…
