                      In order to perceive the truth, the whole truth by LurkerMo 2004-09-22 13:47:02
and nothing but the truth, a person would have to perceive everything. This is, of course, impossible.

Each of us perceives something that (s)he accepts as true. It cannot possibly be the whole truth - and it is also impossible that two people perceive the exact same thing, since their viewpoints cannot be the same.

Perceiving only part of the whole is not necessarily wrong, but it is incomplete. For anybody to speak as if they knew the truth when at most they can only know part of the truth is somewhat deceptive IMO.

In other words, neither one of us is taking the absurd position that you must perceive _everything_ perfectly. But I am taking the position that since you can't, you should not presume to know the whole truth. In order to accurately perceive the truth, you must perceive the whole truth, and that is, as you say, absurd.
