So I'll argue, perhaps weakly, that they construct it. They are given the pieces to make truth, through merit of the fact that they can put forth ideas that really work. Words and concepts can be put forward that people believe in, that give them purpose and fulfillment. That seems to be the truth for all intents and purposes, as far as we can know. It also is a quality of real respect between people, to allow each of them to subscribe to what they decide is truth.
It could also be that we partake in making truth, just as the biblical god allows adam to name animals.
But if you think we find the truth, then we probably have no role in making the truth. It also might be possible, if the truth needs finding, that it cannot even really be apprehended by humans. It also would mean that some people believe in false truth, which may lead to a lack of respect between people. If the truth is hard to comprehend, it might also only be understood by a select few, so this introduces power into the equation.
So how does the truth come to us. Through our own hands, or through the hands of other forces, or is it a collaboration of some kind.
