Finding Ideas

Ep. 25 | Can we only know Truth by approximation?


Listen Later

I am talking with my friend, Vidal Freire. We discuss, most exactly, Approximated Truth Claims. Vidal posits that we cannot really know reality absolutely, and therefore all our knowledge about reality (and about truth) is approximate. This then means that language is merely a broken human tool, science is not definite, and that we are constantly plagued by our own subjectivity. This makes Vidal a very definite and hard Skeptic.   


I have many, many points of contention and disagreement with this view (in fact, it is almost the anthesis of my thinking); however, I do not attempt to hash them out here, for I was primarily concerned with understanding Vildal's philosophy. Vidal and I intend to have another conversation in the future about God, Existentialism (how I define it), and more about honest and atheistic skepticism.
