Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an insightful exploration of the meaning of truth, which is always elusive and invariably concealed by subjective perception. As such, it is a companion in a lifelong quest for knowing the world as it truly is. The author shares wisdom from a wide array of thinkers, from Socrates, who claimed to know nothing, to Montaigne, who sought to know himself. The author exposes that seeking truth inevitably reveals more falsehood, more questions, and more doubt. This book resonates not only with philosophers wrestling with metaphysical questions but also with anyone who values reason, logic, and the relentless pursuit of uncovering truth. It compels the reader to question their own assumptions and beliefs, and will inspire a more discerning epistemological awareness of the world.
