The philosophical project and the question of truth

Philosophy, as defined by Pythagoras as love for wisdom, and although all pre-socratic did not practice it to its fullest, in the sense of that project of seeking the truth started by Socrates, it can say that the target was right, just like many of ideas of this old original thinkers.

Achieve the truth or a higher degree of enlightenment. The sage is the one who can be conscious and reveal, through discourse, proper knowledge. Loving and seeking wisdom is the same as loving and seeking the truth.

Loving wisdom implies desiring it, seeking to reach it. It means that the philosopher initially does not know but is in its enclosure. Philosophy is, therefore, a project committed to the pursuit of truth. Otherwise, the project would not make sense.

If he was already wise and possessed wisdom from the beginning, the project would be ready and finished before it even started, and there would be no philosophy.

His project aims to find the truth about the reality of things, the universe, and themself and become wise. But then it sucks an essential question: what is the truth? Is it possible to obtain the truth or move firmly toward it?

If the answer is no, the project is fruitless, and the philosophical project is doomed to failure.

It is difficult to speak about the truth when relativism and the various partial worldviews prevail, possessing their subjective truth that cannot contest.

The question of truth is fundamental and needs to be replaced. How to approach this problem correctly?

With these thoughts flooding my being, I go out today for my hopeful daily walk, that exercise and contemplation of nature may be a beneficial influence in enlightening my restless spirit.
