Re: I choose my choice!

Person I was responding to was making an argument against knowable truth.

If they want to make a more specific tightly defined argument then that might take a different approach, but as of now they haven't.

It's all the same anon, to be clear.

I'm not advancing the argument myself, so much as saying that people believe this, or something like it. And the claim was never about the knowability of truth as such, but about "the best or the final ends for human beings, or the complete [that is to say, final and full] truth, or what is true in things which are not matters of fact accessible to the scientific method" - the non-existence of a way of determining finally "what is better or worse for human beings" in an ethical sense. Scientific truth is certainly still knowable from this point of view; even philosophic truth may be knowable to some extent. But the final correctness or validity of any human value system is not accessible to our reason from this point of view.

I didn't intend to make an argument against the knowability of truth in general, and if I was unclear, I apologize.
