Sacred Truth

It is often the case in science, philosophy, and society that we take for granted the notion of truth, and take great offense to its scrutinization. Truth is one of few human concepts regarded as impermeable, and we place great value on it and its reassuring nature. To paraphrase the professor of my Technoscience and Culture class, Dr. Schneider, "with the advent of quantum theory and its resulting uncertainties, there are subtle grumblings among the scientific community about the validity of the Newtonian notion of Truth, along with its calculated certainties and its perfect congruencies". Lynch is proposing exactly the opposite; that truth exists and it is right in front of us, objective yet veiled by our own biases. I am not quite sure where I stand between the two!


I think this class (Paths) will prove to be an interesting dichotomy in conjunction with Technosci!
