The truth of any knowledge of the object and can be proved or be questioned.Kantian antinomy, which says that you can rationalize even two opposite hypothesis puts the true knowledge to the rank of a mythical animal.This beast can, and does not exist, and Karamazovskoe "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" should be the supreme tenet of human life.But first things first.
philosophical relativism and too late - the world solipsism indicated that true knowledge is not always so.The problem is that philosophy can be considered authentic, and that - false, rising for a long time.The most famous example of the ancient struggle for the truth of judgments is a dispute with the Sophists and Socrates, the famous dictum of the philosopher: "I know that I know nothing."Sophists, by the way, were among the first who questioned almost everything.
Times theology somewhat pacified fervor philosophers, giving "the only true" and a just view of life and the creation of the world by God.But Giordano Bruno and Nicholas of Cusa, through their scientific discoveries, empirically proved that the sun does not revolve around the Earth, and the planet itself is not the center of the universe.The discovery of the philosophers and scientists of the XV century forced break out again debate about what it means to true knowledge, as the planet turned out to be carried in an unknown and frightening space.While beginning to emerge new schools of thought and develop the science.
So true is the knowledge, according to Aristotle, which is completely untrue.This approach is easy enough to criticize, because it does not take into account as a deliberate delusion and madness.Descartes also believed that true knowledge is different from the false in that it has clarity.Another philosopher J. Berkeley believed that the truth - this is according to what a majority.But be that as it may, the most important criterion of truth is its objectivity, that is, independent of man and his consciousness.
can not say that humanity, complicating the technology, so come to the denial of any errors that true knowledge is already at hand.Modern technology, computers and the Internet in the hands of uneducated and unprepared societies, leading to intoxication and gluttony information.Nowadays, information is seeping out of all the cracks and curb this stream can only the real Moses from programming and social sciences.This picture is quite clearly described already 50 years ago, namely in the book "1984", written by George. Orwell in the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley.
True knowledge can be everyday, scientific or artistic as well as moral.In general, there are as many truths as there are in the world of professions.For example, the problem of hunger in Africa for a scientist is a problem that requires a systematic approach, but for the believer - it is a punishment for sin.That is why the walks around the set of phenomena is so much ongoing debate and, unfortunately, the high-speed technology, science and globalization have not been able to bring humanity to solve even the simplest moral issues.
