Truth Is What Your Contemporaries Let You

To Say That Truth Is Not Out There Is Simply To Say That Where There Are No Sentences There Is No Truth, That Sentences Are Elements Of Human Languages, And That Languages Are Human Creations.~ The Suggestion That Truth~ Is Out There Is A Legacy Of An Age In Which The World Was Seen As The Creation Of A Being Who Had A Language His Own.

The World Does Not Speak. Only We Do. The World Can, Once We Have Programmed Ourselves With A Language, Cause Us To Hold Beliefs. But It Cannot Propose A Language For Us To Speak. Only Other Human Beings Can Do That.

Truthfulness Under Oath Is, By Now, A Matter Of Our Civic Religion, Our Relation To Our Fellow Citizens Rather Than Our Relation To A Nonhuman Power.

"true" Resembles... A Compliment Paid To Sentences That Seem To Be Paying Their Way And That Fit In With Other Sentences Which Are Doing So.

I Think You Can Have A Left That Isn't Culturally Conservative Talking About Lunch-bucket Issues.
