The One And Only Absolute Truth.

An "absolute" truth presupposes other types of truth, what is "absolute" in opposition to?

The only absolute truth you know absolutely, is that you exist as a 'thinking being'. Everything else is linguistics. 

That's all I'm talking about right now. 

What's not to understand that you exist as a 'thinking being', absolutely. What would this truth be in opposition with, exactly?

If you have anything of value to contribute to this thread topic, please do, I will be happy to read it, and respond accordingly.

Otherwise, keep your non-dool battles to yourself, for yourself, whatever those battles are supposed to be, or mean to you. But personally I have no idea what you are talking about, and while we're on the topic, please try to adhere to the actual topic, as that would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your cooperation.

HNY.

A quick summary of the holes in the argument so far:

1. Are we talking about thinking (reasoning) or experiencing (prior to reasoning) here?

2. Is it possible to bring things into existence by pure reasoning?

3. How does reasoning bring itself into existence? Or is reasoning and existence the same thing?

4. If a truth is self evident and unquestionable, then how does an "absolute" truth differ?

5. An "absolute" truth presupposes other types of truth, what is "absolute" in opposition to?

 

In a nutshell, we are talking about the absolute truth of knowing you exist as a thinking being.

It doesn't need to get more complicated than that simple absolute knowing.

İt is actually so simple that doesn't even require knowing. Even knowing exist or not.

No you're adding more than Descartes said.

He was talking about the absolute truth of knowing you exist only when you are thinking (or experiencing). It's absolute because doubting the statement is itself a form of thinking, which means the doubt is wrong.
