Marsha wonders:
Is truth then a description for truth?
?
[David responds]
No. It is true that truth exists though. Remembering that everything
is quality - It is a high quality intellectual idea that high quality
intellectual ideas exist. A handy name for them is the shortened
version - truth.

{Ron replies}
Well, thats what being a supposition means - that only afterwards it holds as
analogous,
As "supposed" to be real or true,.. but
lets assume your position and follow it a bit and see if it links up...
The NoW experience is neither "real" or "true", therefore it can niether have
use or good.
by neccessity it then has no value. Thats a problem straight off.
I'm not sure this squares. At least not with RMP's explanations.
Now truth being conditional or "hypothetical" in no way undercuts it's truth
VALuE.
Because it is always intimately part of consequences of the NoW experience.
Having
consequences it has value therfore it has use and good therefore by necessity
it must
have a truth and a real-ness.Or what we mean by using those terms For some
things
are indeed better than others. This is what we mean when we say they are
truer or
posses a "real-ness".
Saying that truth or "the true" is conditional begins to ask HOW is it true?
and THAT
seems to be where your arguement is focused and has traction, in the context of
conditions.
NOW you have some rhetorical power when somone asserts a truth, you inquire into
the conditions of that assertion, that is when truths become many and varied
some having
equitable value despite the point of view or particular "conditions" it's in
how the data
is interpreted. (social/ intellectual).
