Seeking a permanent, fixed, and perfect end.
How do you know that is not truth? Even motion is fixed.
To what statement are you referring to? Who or what is fixing the motion?
I'm referring to the seeking to 'establish' truth.Is it possible truth is permanent,fixed and has a perfect end? Who or what is fixing motion,well that steers in subjectivity.But what is our perceived existence if not motion?
Both subjectivity(perception) and objectivity(intention/extension) are engaged in continuous motion and dialectic that engenders 'truth'. Hence truth can never be permanent or have a fixed end.
Let's start with truth.It has to be absolute or it ceases to be truth.But 'truth' doesn't have to be.In that sense I understand the interplay between objectivity and subjectivity.
Truth doesn't have to be absolute, and it can never be. For example, truth in courts of law is a matter of calculating probabilities, so is it in the Scientific realms. In religion truth is a matter of satisfying political needs of those who have power.
Humanity is dynamic, so is culture which relies heavily on truth. Culture changes everyday, and so does truth. Objectivity isn't and will never be absolute.
