Answer, sadly, yes. Imo yes. What is to follow in this post will be difficult to write, but I need to do so before I can get down to brass tacks. The question arises — did K consciously, or, perhaps better put, somewhat consciously, know he was disingenuous? For me, after conscious digestion of his …

The two aspects of truth is relatively simple to intellectually understand, and I will be writing about that, the main focus being inquiring into the functional value of this particular concept. When Niko and I first learned of the two aspects around twenty years ago, it was a helpful and exciting experience. I recall, to …
((note: I tried to comment on the “The Two Aspects of Truth” post by Niko but the material didn’t go through)). Hi Niko. Sorry to say I missed seeing this re-post of something I wrote in 2006,. Just discovered it a few moments ago. Yes, we have been meaning to get back into this topic. …
