Do you believe in truth?
Do you care about truth at all?
Is truth unconcealment?

What is truth, OP?

I thought truth was the essential clearing in which beings are revealed, so I guess unconcealment?

I also remember Heidegger talking about how truth is won in the strife between world and earth in the work of art.

What I don't like from Heidegger is that his interpretation of what is truthful from a pragmatic approach is already interpretated in how understanding of the world as pure pragmatism. It's like our own forms of being as pragmatic beings modeled his philosophy as a pragmatic unconcealment.

Theoretically I can't get myself beyond scepticism but practically I de facto adhere to materialism and realism and accept empirical findings.

I don't care
See above
It's unconcealment and concealment and the prejection on, through and beyond the two as existance. At least, that's how I understood it reading Heidie.

No, truth is that which is unconcealed.

Believing in something means thinking it to be true, so 'belief in truth' is tautological.

truth is a substance, not an act; action is a modification of substance.

This amounts to saying that nothing exists.

>Gorgias , was a Greek sophist, Italiote, pre-Socratic philosopher and rhetorician who was a native of Leontini in Sicily. . . . He is sometimes called "Gorgias the Nihilist" . . .

>Gorgias is the author of a lost work: On Nature or the Non-Existent (also On Non-Existence). Rather than being one of his rhetorical works, it presented a theory of being that at the same time refuted and parodied the Eleatic thesis. . . .

>1. Nothing exists;
>2. Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and
>3. Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.
>4. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.

So Stirner wasn't the first to stake his case on nothing
Is sophistry nihilism?

>> No.6642015

>>6642013
yeah

the difference between the ancient sophists/nihilists is that they were could state their case in very simple terms, because they were more honest.

>> No.6642029

>>6642015
oh, and modern philosophy is more or less a revival of the ancient sophists. Literally all of the modern sophisms were there in Greece and are mentioned in Plato, but in more frank terms.

bish nigga, i am the truth.

>> No.6642307

There is an objective truth.
I care about it when it furthers my interests, otherwise I either don't care or try to conceal it from others.
Truth is exploration and unconcealment in equal measure.

I'm a philosophy neophyte, who best represents this sort of thinking?
