What is the significance of this statement “there is no consensus regarding the question of what is Truth” and how does it relate to the way we perceive the world around us?
William James tells us that there is no consensus regarding the question of what is Truth. What is the significance of this statement, and how does it relate to the way we perceive the world around us? By employing practical terms put forward in the works of William James and Charles Sanders Pierce, show how a human being relates to the world around him and comes to believe in particular propositions. How does belief relate to truth? What is the connection between brute sense experience and the truth, and, ultimately, how do the state of affairs concerning experience preclude the possibility of there being a clear definition of what is true that we can all agree on?
