Here is all the stuff for Why truth matter:



Why truth matter By what means do people create antinomies to truth according to the authors of this reading? Antinomy: 1. A contradiction or opposition, especially between two laws or rules 2. a contradiction between principles or conclusions that seam equally reasonable and necessary a paradx ANSWER: People don’t love truth; witch can be truth for health or situation like war. There are two popular ways for denying unwanted truth and ideas: authority says that is wrong witch don’t need hard thinking for people and a lot of comfort in their life without ambiguity. Taboo is the second way. There are some systems who define the truth as it is what is the higher authority say it is. In this view truth start to be political matter not epistemic, this system is popular because it promotes unity and free up a lot of energy.

What point are these authors making? (The reason to write this book) The point that both authors want to make is proving truth does matter, because as we live we are going to face truths and we are going to find out what are they and how they happened. A lot of people hate to hear the truth but the can not ignore it because it is something important in our life, because as you know the truth you will look for a reason for this truth and that search make understand the life more and better. The main idea in this book is the scepticism about the truth, what is the meaning of the truth and does it matter or not? As a human begins we have the capacity to make truth our subject and to find more about it, because they are the only entities who can understand the truth and try to study it. We can discover more about the truth and find why it happened, what can we do with it, how to face the truth?. Even if we fail as we are looking for the truth we will say we learned something even if that wasn’t the truth but it is something link to the truth, all this because we can do it and we can find the truth, and we are as human the only one who can do that.

We should know the truth so then we can know if other people are right or not, are they trying to manipulate the truth for political, social. Knowing the truth will help us to live our life as human not as a machine. Truths always the best ways to know things with deep know and think.

Yes, and don't forget the idea mentioned by the authors that it is important to know the truth so that we can be aware if others are trying to manipulate it for political, social, or other reasons that might allow them to sway people to think and act in a way that the manipulator would like.
