You now say that it is about "two types of truths"... Are you talking about "triangles have three sides " as opposed to "the sky is blue"? — Banno
Then you agree with everything that I’ve said and the duplicitous nature of truth so far discussed that it it always stays the same for some statements (truths, a la all triangles have three sides) and that it changes for in other statements (colour of sky) — invicta
It is simple. "P" is true iff P. That's all there is to it. The "...is true" in "It is true that triangles have three sides" and "it is true that the sky is blue" are the very same. — Banno
If two or more parties agree by experience that it is currently hot then that is truth.
How do you get conspiracy out of that? — invicta
The sky is blue only applies during daytime therefore in this scenario truth is context dependent.
1+1 = 2 is true in all circumstances because it’s a calculation performed on numerical values.
In this aspect we get some truths being changeable and some being constant. — invicta
Hence it is sentences that are "context driven"; not truth. — Banno
Is truth always context dependent? Yes, because it is statements that are true, and stements are context-dependent. — Banno
However this was later addressed in Kant's famous 'answer to Hume'. Very briefly (and literally thousands of volumes have been written about it) according to Kant, causality is not an empirical concept at all - that is, it is not derived from experience - but a necessary condition of experience. It is one of the categories of the understanding by which we make sense of experience. In other words, we do not derive our knowledge of causality from experience; rather, we bring our concept of causality to experience, which allows us to understand and interpret experience. — Wayfarer
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
