Speaking of Truth...From the First Day of Class...

What is truth?  How does one uncover it?
I think that truth is in the eye of the beholder.  My truth may not be exactly your truth.  I suppose that there are some universal truths we can all agree on, such as there are seven days in a week.  That may be more of a convention upon which we all agree.  In regards to uncovering truth, I think it begins with a hypothesis but requires investigation and possibly consensus to be accepted and believed.

Jeanne thinks this makes me a "post-positivist"...what do you think?
