truth or lie (2 Viewers)

[super.muppy]

is there really such thing as truth?
give me ur thoughts

I think a better question is whether truth can be objective.

In answer to that?
I don't believe so, no.

Post modernism questions the validity of its predecessor modernism, on the grounds it is simply the product of mistaken belief in what human reason is and is capable of. It argues that, while we may believe ourselves to be objective, rational, able to look at and analyse our world to find ‘truth’, this is a delusion. Post modernism asserts that what we claim as objective knowledge or ‘true’ knowledge is merely a way of the empowered to assert social, political, or moral control over others less powerful then themselves. ‘True’ knowledge is decided by the powerful and then access to it is controlled. Post modernism also questions the power of words in ascertaining ‘truth’; we are prisoners of language, and can only know things indirectly, and through words. By doing so we apply our own bias over the meaning and distort truth.

maybe this shouldn't be in this forum and possible in the hobbies social interests forum......


and anyway, of course there is a truth lol

it's true that I wrote this post....

unless you're a epiphenomenalist...

No, there are agreed upon definites in terms of events and people. ie, World War One happened. The Treaty of Versailles was written. Martin Luther King existed.
These definites cannot be described as truths for my afforementioned reasons.

more like ee1, but ok

foucault's precept is that truth is culture-bound and implicated in regimes of knowledge producing power.

that's merely an observation. it may be a fact, but is it a 'truth'? the question remains

 

[wendus]

anyone studying representation and text in module c would tell you that there are as many truths as there are tellers.

 

[-may-cat-]

ah! shut up shut up shut up! i hate frontline...

 

[kaz1]

Of course there is truth. I don't get your question.

 

[Lukybear]

Well kaz1 you shouldnt complain, i dont get anything.

 

[sonyaleeisapixi]

Of course there is truth. I don't get your question.

There is your truth and there is my truth and there is your teachers truth.

Theres English truths and there is Spanish truths and their is truths the eldery women hold and the elderly men hold.

Is that really truth?

 

[-tal-]

Oh shit. The perception crap.

 

[sonyaleeisapixi]

Oh shit. The perception crap.

Hahaha. Yeahhhhhhh!

 

[f e a r l e s s]

yes there is truth,
YOU are truth itself,
and you may have forgotten this,
But your soul always remembers and it is perfect.
this is the truth.
you know truth, cos at times, it is very uncomfortable, and 'inconvenient', but truth will always exist, forevermore.

living life by your own truth; no one else's, is the greatest way for one to live.

:uhhuh:
