Knut Sondre Sæbø commented on criticism #4950.
#4950·Dennis HackethalOP, 2 days agoBut to verify absolute truth you would need to know every possible criticism of an idea.
But we don’t need to verify our ideas. As I wrote in #4891, there’s no criterion of truth to tell that an idea is true. But it can still be true.
That's true. This wasn't meant as an argument against realist truth, and it's probably beside the point I'm making anyway. I was just drawing a distinction: an absolute truth can exist, but without a god's eye view we can never know whether our theories correspond to it.
