No I didn't mean that at all. Far from it. What I meant was that it matters whether there are absolute truths or not and what they are.Originally posted by selfAdjoint
Do you mean we should believe in absolute truth, for no other reason than that it would be morally inconvenient not to? The whole trend of philosophy after Kant led to the position stated by Nietsche: God is dead, there is no absolute truth, and we have to decide for ourselves how to behave. Are you just waving all that away? [/B]
One shouldn't believe anything that one does not think is a truth, not for any reason.
Btw I'm having a lot of trouble with this thread. Posts keep disappearing and appearing again. I seem to be missing some of them.
