Truth

Context

• Truth has been the subject of Epistemology and philosophers for thousands of years.
• The original Western Philosophical traditions starting with Thales looked for Truth from the natural philosophy of reality.
• By the time of Plato the search for truth had turned into the anthropomorphic search for human knowledge. A very different subject.

Problem

• Tim Rice captured the heart of the problem in Jesus Christ Superstar:

 [JESUS]
 I look for truth, and find that I get damned
 [PILATE]
 But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
 We both have truths - are mine the same as yours?

• The challenges of human efforts and discovering truth are summarized here http://tcwiki.azurewebsites.net/index.php?title=General_Theory_of_Living_Systems#Problems
