1. Truth And Truthfulness
This philosophical work explores the importance of truth and the practice of truthfulness in society, arguing against the skepticism and relativism that question the value and possibility of truth. The author delves into the concepts of accuracy and sincerity, which he identifies as the two basic virtues of truth, and examines how these virtues are essential to human practices and institutions. Through a blend of historical analysis and philosophical inquiry, the book defends the indispensability of truth and truthfulness, while also acknowledging the challenges and complexities involved in upholding these ideals in the modern world. The author's insightful analysis aims to reconcile the demands of truth with the necessities of social cohesion, offering a compelling case for why truth and truthfulness matter profoundly in both personal and public life.
