What is the truth?

To begin, somewhat philosophical pongámosnos and talk about the concept of "truth", a hot topic throughout the history of mankind by great thinkers and intellectuals.



How do we define the word "truth"? We might say, is what comes of sincerity, honesty and good faith, that which is verifiable with irrefutable evidence, or even the statement of the facts and things in the constitution of the universe.
Of course, this is one of the words of the most definitions could be drawn depending on the person to describe it. disagreement between the majority of scholars on the "truth" is very broad, finding alternative positions when they question things like:

  • What constitutes truth.
  • How can we identify and define criteria.
  • If human beings have innate knowledge or you can just buy it.
  • If there are disclosures or truth can be achieved only through experience, understanding and reason.
  • If the truth is subjective or objective, relative or absolute.
  • And to what extent can affirm each of these properties.



    So much so that throughout the history of mankind, since the people have the ability to reason rationally, great thinkers and philosophers like Plato ("the myth of the cave" of his work "The Republic"), Aristotle, Descartes (with his famous "Rationalism"), Hobbes and Locke (with "empiricism") and closer as time Hegel and Nietzsche in many others, gave to the world the way they understand the concept of truth and reality, each with a different perspective, we may all rightly or perhaps none at all had it, the thing is I think the first step to begin to approach our happiness and love is to make an examination and ask ourselves, what is the truth or reality....

    Note that all those people listed above, great intellectuals and thinkers was asked this question many times, leading them to devote much of their energies and their lives to try to find a universal definition of "truth" or "reality". I think they failed, because the definitions of each are as varied as are different among themselves. It may not be able to establish a universal definition of those words and each has its own inside... Well, let's try to see what comes up, relax us and make us the question: for me what is the truth or reality?. You shall count me.

    Ah! in the first post and beyond will always remember that you feel much love for yourself, this is very important.

Thank you very much for reading my words.
