Is "Truth" bipolar?

[Ozzie]

If their was Truth to be found out there I would expect to see it demonstrated in some way. For example, an agreed set of laws that objectify a concept of justice.

Instead, uncertainty in what is true leads two ways:

1. Towards metaphysics promoting that truth is above, behind or beyond what is apparent.

2. Towards a highly contextualised, contingent truth played out in human interaction.

Isn't truth therefore bipolar?

Isn't that an intellectual move?

That sounds like a rhetorical question.

Perhaps knowledge need not be intellectual.

Many forms appear to interact directly with the autonomic nervous system or non-"conscious" parts of the brain.

Consciousness And Decision Making?

Good example of "forms". Sunstone's post speaks of "awareness". This knowledge does not require an intellectual move.

Although I, like everyone, am uncertain "what is true," I have no doubt what truth is.
