RE: Truth is the Measure of Authority, Not 'Authority' That's the Measure of Truth

in #philosophy7 years ago

I've covered many of these issues in various posts in the past. Sorry, I won't be taking the time to address your concerns, as it takes too much of my time. I've also found that this is a strategy by some to wear down others with endless questions, doubts or demands. The questions have answers, but usually the person asking doesn't want them, they just want to nitpick and argue semantics rather than understand how language works to define and reference things for us to communicate about. Forgo the pursuit of truth to your own detriment. Peace.

Sort:  

oh, if you see it that way, I am so sorry to bother you. However, my intention was really to find out your answer. Since you said that you covered my question in previous postings, I will just find them and read them. :)

Hehe, they will be hard to find. I didn't make a post to address each thing. I'll give you the benefit of doubt that you want to know things more. Why do you want to state that the word truth could be anything, arbitrary, as through that changes the fundamental understanding of what we're talking about? Call it whatever you want, so what. What is being referenced? That's what's important. Truth, gerblack, zookook, whatever. But the word symbol references something to be talked about. That's what words do.

So, why do you think it's important to mention how language works in attempt to cast confusion on what truth is? It's a nonsequitor from actually talking about how the word 'truth' is used to reference aspects of life, living, reality, etc.
