Is there always more truth in doubt than there is doubt in truth?

Question

Interpret as you wish :-).

Thanx for considering my Q. I'm interested in reading your answers. I'm getting a headache thinking about it, but can think of two exceptions. Maybe you'll be better at this....or, have a different spin.

:-)

Answer 1

I cant say i agree with both of ur statements. When u decide to say its the truth, then there is no doubt in it. Cause TRUTH DONT GIVE SPACE to DOUBT in it. It really depends on u, what are things that considered as truth by YOU. If i say i love u, and u believe me, ur mind automatically say its the truth,... ur truth. U dont take things as truth because somebody told u to believe what they think is the truth according to what they believe. U say its the truth cause u believe in urself that is the truth to u.

Truth = zero doubt

Doubt = u r not sure or even dont believe it

Answer 2

what truth?  whose truth?

I pick more doubt in truth...

Answer 3

Events that pass into the past are "timelocked" and exist as indisputable truth. They cannot be assailed or undone, they are consigned to perfection in amber. Such truth can perhaps be observed with total non-interference from mind, the only type of "objectivity". All things learned are part of this elapsed past, existing as discrete information. The future is burgeoning and in flux, the past is completely quiescent.

The future is doubt, the past, certainty. If one can observe in full quietude the past one can see truth. Learning is simply about memory of things bygone. Doesn't matter what you learn, only that you remember.

Memory has been implicated in neurogenesis because the events being remembered are perfect moments in time. Thus, they can spontaneously reorder matter (neurons) in the hippocampus, forming new neurons. Memories are fundamentally units of perfect order.

Answer 4

only if you truly doubt.

Answer 5

In the definition of need truths go away from doubt, doubt as skepticism is found on contradiction but ability doubt is a relation to measurement and demand i.e. can I or you do this.

'Note to § 81

(2) Scepticism

Scepticism should not be looked upon merely as a doctrine of doubt. It would be more correct to say that the Sceptic has no doubt of his point, which is the nothingness of all finite existence. He who only doubts still clings to the hope that his doubt may be resolved, and that one or other of the definite views, between which he wavers, will turn out solid and true. Scepticism properly so called is a very different thing: its is complete hopelessness about all which understanding counts stable, and the feeling to which it gives birth is one of unbroken calmness and inward repose. Such at least is the noble Scepticism of antiquity, especially as exhibited in the writings of Sextus Empiricus, when in the later times of Rome it had been systematised as a complement to the dogmatic systems of Stoic and Epicurean.

Of far other stamp, and to be strictly distinguished from it, is the modern Scepticism ..., which partly preceded the Critical Philosophy, and partly sprang out of it. That later Scepticism consisted solely in denying the truth and certitude of the supersensible, and in pointing to the facts of sense and of immediate sensations as what we have to keep to.'

'§ 825

Thus illusory being is the phenomenon of scepticism, and the Appearance of idealism, too, is such an immediacy which is not a something or a thing, in general, not an indifferent being that would still be, apart from its determinateness and connection with the subject. Scepticism did not permit itself to say 'It is'; modern idealism did not permit itself to regard knowledge as a knowing of the thing-in-itself; the illusory being of scepticism was supposed to lack any foundation of being, and in idealism the thing-in-itself was not supposed to enter into knowledge. But at the same time scepticism admitted a multitude of determinations of its illusory being, or rather its illusory being had for content the entire manifold wealth of the world. In idealism, too, Appearance embraces within itself the range of these manifold determinatenesses.'

Answer 6

There are many, many truths that are doubted constantly.

People who have faith in Religion will say the truth is doubted.

Perhaps people against global-warming will say the truth is doubted.

On the other hand if you interpret "doubt in truth" literally you could

argue that all things are possible, therefore making impossibility a possibility. By this logic there can be no certain truth.

The saying, as you know, means you are learning more about yourself when you doubt. at least that is how i have always interpreted it.
