(October 31, 2013 at 12:33 am)Lemonvariable72 Wrote: Does truth properly reside in a mind? this seems a pretty bare assertion to me. I would actually make the argument that there is one absolute truth, and that is there are no absolute truths save that one because you can not demonstrate reality is real and thus you are forced to make three base assumptions : Reality is real, I can learn about reality, and prediction making models are better then none predictive ones.
I'm no philosopher, so please forgive me if have things arse-about-tit, but surely we can state with absolute confidence that reality appears to exist, without assuming that it actually does?
Couldn't we justify all our knowledge and experience with that one statement, without ever having to assume an absolute truth?
