How can we know something is true? What processes do people use to know that something is true?
This are some questions I often ask myself once in a while and that I haven't had a satisfactory answer for them. Since my childhood I have heard people talking about the Absolute Truth. This Truth that is "eternal, blazing truth". Well, in the chapter Truths of reason I noticed that is was not all as it is showed. I believe many people use the term of "absolute Truth" to be more in comfort, to feel themselves secure of what they trust, and most of all to live without more worries. But what about reasoning? Is the obligation of everyone to use it. We have this skill and still we don't use it. The Absolute Truth is revealed, and I think its not a revelation what we should adore, but the use of reason to seek for the truth. Everybody can use reason, the truths are better understood if everybody contributes for it to be discovered. So it should be not the Truth of some, isnt that elitism or something like that? Let us use a skill we all have: reason and help us each other in every way we can, building up what we consider true by the rationality of everyone and not by the beliefs of some.
I agree with carlos in the part that says that the use of reason to seek for the truth. i say its is a wise thing to say because like there are not absolut truths, reason is the only way we can arrive at a common agreement.
ResponderEliminarcarlos i like youre posts you think very deeply, saying that the only way of knowing the thrut is using youre reasoning , you have to apply all youre expiriences and youre knowlegde you have scince you were litle to solve youre own thruts even do it doesnt means it is the real thrut.
ResponderEliminarI realy like your blog Carlos. It is very creativee andd quitee TRUTH!!! What you say about the absolute truth is very common in these days. Acutally many people say the absolute truth refering to the real truth, and this gives some confidence to the people, but it isn't absolute. You need to use reason to support your truth for things!! Keep working like that!
ResponderEliminarHahaha Carlos, I wrote a similar blog post, and I also think that if we reason, we can help the others apply this ability, which is a very useful one, and helps us to be rational thinkers in everything. Seeking the Truth is kind difficult for the people, but if we reason, it can get a lot easier, so let’s get the people to reason!
