3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 1. Truth

8098	Truth consists of having the same idea about something that God has [Joubert]
	Full Idea: Truth consists of having the same idea about something that God has.
	From: Joseph Joubert (Notebooks [1800], 1800)
	A reaction: Presumably sceptics about the existence of objective truth must also be sceptical about the possibility of such a God. I think Joubert is close to the nature of truth here. It is a remote and barely imaginable ideal.
