In this chapter Fernando Savater talks about the Truths, and all the arguments, experience, belifs and reasons that are involved.
In this chapter I realized that there are many truths. For example the field of truths. That there are many truths depending on your belifs, culture etc. An excellent example is the sun. The sun in astronomy is a gigantic star that has very high temperatures. In some religions the sun is a god. When we have a truth of something, it is not the real truth, it is something close to the real truth or something that we as a humans want to believe or understand.
There are many questions that I have in my mind that I dont have the truth. For example, Who decides wheter you die or live? There are many questions that we don't have the real truth, or he have something close to the truth. That is Jesus, this is depending on your religion, but the real truth we dont have it. You have to believe in your own truths.
There are many things that from this chapter make me think. Like the Mexican History, How do we know that Pancho Villa was a real hero. Maybe it was a legend, or this story has passed from generation to generation, but we don't have proofs or evidence to support this truth. This truth is what we believe it is the real truth.
We dont know the real truth for sure in many things. Maybe it is going to be discoverd the real truth for some things.

That is right Gerardo, many people think differently depending in their culture, age sex, etc. but that is why we need to learn to philosophize, so we can have our own ideas, so that we can create our truth. Also wisdom is one important factor in life that we can apply for getting better and a wider range of answers. So, even though we are a lot of people, we have little answers, but why? I think that we should create our own thoughts.
ResponderEliminarWhen trying to find truths about past events( or hell even everyday drama) it is suggested to hear both sides of the story ( or whatever sides there are). Maybe Pancho was a Hero to people who thought revolution was the way to go, but for others he may have been a thief leader. For these points there are arguments and its up to us decide which are solid arguments.
