ESSAY ON: Bertrand Russell And Pragmatic Conception Of Truth: Compare/Contrast

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: 7 pages in length. The notion of truth, even after centuries' worth of attempts at securing incontrovertible clarity, still remains as elusive a concept as it was when Gorgias first struggled to understand its meaning. Bertrand Russell argues the only way in which one can truly know truth is by sense data - employing the senses to see and feel the image in a way that it may be interpreted by the sensor - which illustrates the means by which all things may be interpreted as already possessing truth. James and Pierce uphold the pragmatic point of view by claiming how truth is whatever one believes it to be at that very moment, a reality that can change with the wind and become entirely different than it was but a split second ago. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
