3. Truth / D. Coherence Truth / 1. Coherence Truth
The true is the whole [Hegel]
     Full Idea: The true is the whole.
     From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit [1807], Pref 20)
     A reaction: This is the full idealist coherence view of truth, that one only approaches the Truth (capital T) as one builds up a more and more coherent picture. It makes truth unattainable, and that strikes me as a bit silly.
