Rethinking Truth
Rethinking Truth
Author: Philip Higgs, Jane Smith
This exploration of the meaning of truth tries to answer such questions as Can truth be discovered objectively, as science claims? Is truth a created, highly contested, and changing entity, lasting but a moment? Is there more than one truth? and What is it about truth than can elicit people to sacrifice their lives for it...  more » This book contends that if individuals rethink their own truths, they will alter reality and change the way they live and relate to the world. The meaning of truth is examined in various contexts, including logical empiricism, hermeneutics (truth as understanding), systems theory (truth as a whole), feminism (truth as being woman), phenomenology (truth as authenticity), critical theory (truth as unmasking), and postmodernism (truth as an illusion).
