RE: What is Truth - The Importance of Truth in Life
As usual, an excellent analysis and description of a crucially fundamental concept. I thought I noticed an error in your 2nd sentence:
There is the universal truth, and a particular truth to describe a subset of the universal.
...but upon rereading it I see no error at all. My first impression was the statement was contradictory: "How can a subset of the truth be universal?" Of course it can't. An alternative construction would be: There is universal truth and subsets of it which are particular truths.
The error was mine in parsing the statement. The rest of your article flushes out the distinction between universal truth (i.e. reality) and specific truth. Not sure if this feedback is useful but there it is.
Thanks. That may help some people who don't read the sentence structure properly as well. There is nothing contradictory if you understand what particulars and universals are, such as by reading some of my other posts that I linked to, such as philosophical metaphysics. Glad you hashed it out. ;) Take care. Peace.
