Five: Session Eight |
- From the beginning,
philosophers struggled to figure out what truth is. Socrates
understood that truth is something that stands aprart from
any individual or group. It is transcendent. We don't get to
decide what truth is. Our job is to discover it.
- In this module you learned
that our culture is once again confused about the nature of
truth. You learned about several popular, but logically impossible,
theories (subjectivism, social relativism, and postmodernism).
Analysis reveals that these theories are so unworkable as to
be ridiculous. The crazy pictures are designed to show the
topsy turvy world that would result if these theories were
really taken seriously.
- You also learned that
truth is necessarily objective.
