Write a detailed response on your truth and contrast it against a philosopher( i.e., Plato, Aristotle, St Thomas Aquinas, and Immanuel Kant etc).

 

Remember, your personal philosophy is right for you, you do not have to agree with scholars, the professor, or anyone.

 

Please respect yourself enough, as a learner, to state your case, and others enough to allow others to state theirs. choose a philosopher who's beliefs about 'truth' contrast with your own.

The concept of truth was and is undoubtedly one of the great problems with which philosophy deals. ... For Plato, the world we live in is nothing more than an imperfect reflection of a supersensible world, of "ideas", where truth is an ideal to be achieved together with beauty and good.

Step-by-step explanation

As we can see for Plato, I am going to start here, the truth did not escape his conception of the ideal as the basis of perfection. Truth is an ideal. Something that, in my view, considerably reduces the possibility of understanding from our own reality what truth is. This concept, even more than that of philosophy, freedom or consciousness, is probably the one that has received the most evasion as a specific subject of treatment within philosophy. If for Plato the truth is an ideal, for me the truth is the reality in its totality with all its spatial-temporal and mutual incidence circumstances. When we say that we want to know, know, understand and have the capacity to explain, we are saying in many ways that we want to approach and get to the truth of everything. It is not the best definition, of course, but I think that all the good intentions of people pursue the ultimate goal, not even happiness, but the truth; that veil that allows us to breathe deeply and relieved as a result of understanding everything. In my opinion there is nothing more liberating of consciousness than the possession of the truth. Perhaps we can connect it - as Russell said - with our need for certainty. Why do I say that reality is truth? Because without reality with all its components - us as part of it - would existence be the permanent search path that it is? It simply seems to me that a high soul would not seek happiness as much as the truth, finding it would be a reason for great happiness.
