[Krimel]
If for example it is raining
outside, the rain falls whether I believe it or not. The truth of the
rainfall depends neither on my belief nor on the criteria by which I
justify
my belief nor on the community of picnickers who may justify denying the
existence of the rain and soggy sandwiches for reasons of their own.
DM: We look out of the window and see the wet ground. We rely
on our experience as being true. We 'make sense' of this experience
by supposing/imagining that it has rained. We make sense of our
experience by imagining 'possible' happenings that we have not
experienced but could have experienced. We have no way to
validate these supposings than by further interpreted-experiences.
Did it actually rain? If we did not experience this rain as happening
we can never know for sure (the sure that experience gives us).
There is a truth of what happened but this truth may lie beyond
the scope of our experience. Yet to make sense of our limited
experience we have to fill in the gaps in our experience that make
it difficult to make sense of our limited experience, although this
can be aided by using the experiences reported tous by others.
Such is our truth, our best fiction, our best way to make sense of
what we hav experienced and discussed with others. The certain truth
is unattainable, yet we cannot live without creating a possible
whole truth to live by, open to revision, always uncertain.
