Truth

It’s a hot button issue in politics today. Some people are arguing that we live in the “post-truth” era, in which “alternative facts” are possible. Based on my experience viewing this, the conversations in class, and the reading that I’ve done in the textbook, I have changed my views. Although, first I’ll explain the opinion of my peers.

thought was a continuing process of evolution, an empirical testing and correcting as he translated his thoughts into action through his premise often known as experimental truth; that is, learning what 's around you through trial and error. Gandhi insisted on the harmony and unity…

philosophical arguments are presented, philosophy becomes a concrete science. Without God, it is an abstract science that cannot have any real answers. My philosophical beliefs are founded above all else on the existence of God.

Reality is God and that which corresponds to Him. God is limitless, transcendent, all-present,…

for people to come together with similar ideas on a news network. As a result of groupthink, news networks filter what truth it wants to portray and also dictates what information the viewer is allowed to receive. Bias in the media changes the truth into something that is twisted and only a portion of what is actually true is mentioned in the information. Media bias hides the truth and displays invalid information that stations believe is a way to manipulate an…

of her verbal testimony in the book I, Rigoberta Menchú, as it presents itself as a truth of her life, although that’s debatable. Blame could be put on her editor, Elizabeth Burgos, herself, or the Guatemalan people who knew her personally that gave their own testimonies on Menchú’s life from their perspectives. Her reasoning for putting it out was in question, along with what she narrated as her version of the truth. The complexity of this issue resolves itself by redefining the problem. The…

God has complete authority, God is also Truth. This is not saying that God only tells the truth, the very nature of who God is is truth. God cannot be apart of untruth. Therefore, his very words must also always be true. Second, Scripture itself calls itself truth. Jesus himself said “ Sanctify them in the Truth; your word is truth”. Scripture being God’s word, meaning it cannot be untruthful, calls itself truth. Therefore, Truth says that scripture is truth. This argument is part of what we…

incredible life lesson stories that his son, William, cannot seem to believe. He eventually realizes that using a little imagination in stories doesn’t hurt when teaching lifelong lessons. In the movie Big Fish, William learns the actual truth behind his father’s stories and how the exaggerated version was more of an eye opener than the reality check. A story can never be considered a story if some parts seem impossible to happen. Books, for example, the Hunger Games is violent and…

it presents to similar concepts such as truth, belief and justification.1 It try’s to justify the fundamental question, what tells us the difference between true adequate knowledge from false inadequate knowledge?2 It also attempts us to be able to answer “How do we know?”3 because do we really know anything? Epistemology is important in both philosophy and our every day life because it is the clarification of how we think. It is not only knowledge but truth, belief, justification, skepticism,…
