20320 | Truth is what unites, and the profound truths create a community [Jaspers] |
Full Idea: Truth is what unites. ...[p.145] The most profound truth is that which all men might understand so as to form one community. | |
From: Karl Jaspers (Philosophy [1932], vol.2) | |
A reaction: Nice slogan, for robust realists like me. The hallmark of truth is our convergence on it. This is a 20th century existentialist perfectly expounding the enlightenment dream. The best rhetoric is truthful rhetoric. |
