From: utzoo!decvax!decwrl!amd70!tch Newsgroups: net.followup Title: The Truth Article-I.D.: amd70.1467 Posted: Sun Feb 13 10:00:19 1983 Received: Wed Feb 16 01:07:10 1983 For those in net.women, I submit this as a refutation of comments by "decwrl!decvax!harpo!seismo!hao!hplabs!hplabsb!pc" in regard to the nature of 'Truth'. For those in net.followup, I submit my opinions as the initiation of another intellectual discussion. (Where is net.philosophy ?) Fact is empirical evidence. Belief is a subjective value system. Truth is something that necessarily contains elements of absolute fact *and* individual belief. If it does not consist of both, then Truth becomes one or the other. Because one of the elements of Truth is a subjective entity (Belief), Truth itself *is* subjective! (Think of it as an OR logic gate.) I believe that this is the Truth! Tom Hicks AMD/MCS
