That itself is a truth and yes, David Hume. Empiricism is gay and self-refuting.

>>16013336
I meant the absolute truth, not individual truths.

Skepticism.

>>16013321
Yeah

>>16013352
The existence of absolute truth would be...?

>>16013321
>humans cannot reach the truth
Is that true, though?

You'd probably enjoy Pascal a lot, Montaigne too. They were influenced by scepticism in the direction of fideism. Many Jews also have similar ideas about how God isn't some neo-platonist godhead to be reasoned about, he is so outside of creation (as its creator) that our relationship to him has to be personal, the relationship of him choosing to intervene in history through revelation, not philosophical.

Different constitutions seem to find this scepticism/fideism approach pleasant, but I don't quite understand it.

Romanticism

Friedrich Schlegel
Schelling

The understanding of all individual truths into one single truth about reality in its entirety.

>>16013950
Yes, it's an individual truth.

>>16013994
So humans can "reach individual truths" but not non-individual truths? What's an example of a sentence that expresses a "non-individual" truth? What are the demarcation criteria used to determine whether a given sentence is in one or the other category of truth?

Truth's only divided into many different "individual" truths from a narrow perspective, Anon. With a larger view, all truths are part of one and the same truth. Like a galaxy seems to be one single distant point of light but when you zoom in you notice it consists of hundreds of thousands of stars.

There is a line or moral objectivity and humans can only hope to cross back and fourth over it, and may blindly find some version of success but will never be able to know the exact location of this line.

There. It's me. It's part of my moral philosophy.

Humans cannot reach truth alone, so God had to come down and give it to us

>>16013336
It's all we have. Hume wasn't refuting empiricism, he was just pointing its technical limitations. Stop promulgating your pseudery.
