RE: The Fallacy Fallacy

in #philosophy8 years ago

I'l offer one of my previous posts since that's what you're directly asking: What is Truth - The Importance of Truth in Life

I describe it more in other work, like a 5h presentation on Consciousness and Truth, and in other places. I keep furthering my understanding by seeing more of what 'is' demonstrated in the reality of our behavior and psychology. I clarify various things in different ways, sometimes text, sometimes infographics and audio/video. Describe what is going on, and apply definitions and meaning to what is demonstrated for others to understand it as I do. It can be verified by anyone who wants to think about it. Rather than answer people in comments with questions like yours over and over, I explain it in depth by taking the time to put out work about various things, and more people can understand it without me having to repeat it over and over. It helps me learn and makes getting the info out much more efficient. One-to-many vs. one-to-one.

Here is a post on objective vs. subjective.

Logic is how I uncover these demonstrable verifiable aspects of truth about ourselves and reality. Logic is collecting (PIE *leg) through non-contradictory identification and correspondence/correlation/interconnection of various things. Connecting demonstrable things we can understand about ourselves or reality, to beliefs, does not form verifiable understanding, despite being non-contradictory.

Understanding how the word truth applies as I posted about will help to keep things grounded. Also most of us don't consciously differentiate the actual difference between what truth means and what belief means. See belief post.

Truth can relate to the truth of what is now -- good or bad, true or false ways (eg. honesty or lies, nonharm or harm) -- and it can refer to the truer way of living -- better, gooder, truer human world/reality we can create. That's the most importance ways of looking at truth to reference parts of reality, and how collecting data about those truths (how we live, and how to better live, i.e. morality) is the most important truth, the moral truth. Logic is required to remove contradictory, conflicting, opposition behavior that goes against the values we claim to uphold.

Thank you so much! Seriously, that is exactly what I was looking for! I am going to study your other works now :)

Nice! Enjoy ;) But don't you like the post enough to upvote it? :P hehe

Hahaha thanks for calling me out! Honestly, I thought I did, I guess I was too caught up in commenting to upvote (still getting used to the Steem platform)!

I've got you!
