#4939·Dennis HackethalOP, 1 day agoWhen you say it's 100% true that it's raining, "the facts" you correspond to are already facts within that framework, and not reality.
I think of them as facts of reality. I don’t think about ‘frameworks’. I think the idea of frameworks invites relativism.
We don’t need the molecular level for this. Truth is a very simple concept. No need to complicate it.
"Fact about the world" seems too strong to me. There can be many good explanations of the same reality that carve it up differently. Newton's theories still work pretty well, but Einstein's have a more complete mapping onto reality. I agree "it's raining" has something real grounding it. But "rain" as a category, the subject-predicate structure, water as droplets, just seem to be features of our description. My notion of fact might just be wrong. The idea I have in my head when I think of facts is that the concepts we use are definite ontological categories in reality.
