We can bleat forever about the nature of truth. I generally prefer a limited notion of truth and honesty against lies and deception. This is not the whole story, but broadly speaking, if I'm on a jury I want to know 'the truth' to make my decision. I don't much fancy sending someone to the gallows on the basis of whether Jupiter is in conjunction with a horse's ass. What has happened to this level of truth and in whose interests is it to make it so difficult to know about global warming, wealth, what our basic ways of living should be and so on? An exploration of human and vested interests is likely to tell us more about this than trying to find personal integrity. The general academic consensus is that we shy away from even looking at what goes on in the world because we are dire cowards who need to live in relativistic cloud-cuckoo lands and that reality is too tough for us.
