Any philosophers out there? I don’t know why this thought crossed my mind tonight, but it did. I couldn’t let go of it.
Man’s (and woman’s, of course) ability to reason is subject to his ability to identify truth.
Logic and reason begins with a premise–a statement of fact. And then you put that premise with another premise and you make a logical conclusion. But, if you begin with an “almost true” premise, logic cannot help you.
Can anyone help me flesh this idea out? Any good examples or metaphors?
