This website is based on an over
two decades-long, on-going study of the Nature of Truth in
thousands of references in Theology, Philosophy, Literature,
History, Mathematics, Science and Logic. To see the extent
of this study, please download the
Extensive Bibliography
below.
At this site you will find a
Unique, Satisfactory and Much Needed
Definition for the word Truth.
Much needed
because the concept of Truth is inescapable.
Satisfactory because the
definition fulfills the necessary and sufficient conditions
for the concept of Truth.
Unique
and unprecedented because
I believe it is unlike any other definition of Truth.
Those
who are new to the subject might be surprised to discover
that a valid definition for the word Truth has not yet been
agreed upon by Theologians, Philosophers, Logicians and
Mathematicians.
With the
advantage of hindsight, and a long history of Theology,
Philosophy, Mathematics and Logic behind us, only recently
have we been in a position to understand Augustine’s
exposition of Truth correctly. The ancients were unable to
interpret this work correctly, because they did not
experience the many dead-ends that the history of ideas
traversed.
1- The Triumvirate of human wisdom has been found wanting:
a- There is no truth in Mathematics
b- There is no truth in Science
c- There is no truth in Logic
2- Philosophers, mathematicians and logicians have been unable to define the word Truth.
The most plausible theories of truth are listed, followed by their devastating critiques.
3- The analysis of the word Truth as given by St. Augustine has been resurrected and
interpreted in light of the above facts.
All of
the pages on this website are arranged
Topically in Drop-down menus.
The many facets of the
Nature of Truth are given over several pages and all
relevant pages should be read for a more complete picture.
The
Nature of Truth topic
contains the definition of the word Truth, its grammatical
analysis and its interpretation.
The
Background to the Nature of Truth
topic has several pages of vital information on the present
state of the many Theories of Truth and answers to commonly
asked questions.
The
Nature of Science topic
gives statements by prominent scientists who have admitted
that there is no truth in science.
The
Nature of Numbers topic
presents extensive information on the nature of numbers,
their nature, their uses and their impotence to describe
reality.
The
Nature of Logic topic also
contains quotes by eminent logicians that show the purpose
and necessity of logic, the uses of the variety of logics,
and the impotence of logic to arrive at any truth
whatsoever.
The
Nature of Knowledge page
establishes a solid epistemological foundation for all human
knowledge.
Once the
Nature of Truth is established, it becomes necessary to
understand The Nature of
Names and Titles.
The
