Why+Truth+Matters

Antinomies: 1. a contradiction or opposition, especially between two laws or rules
 * i. By what means do people create antinomies to truth according to the authors of this reading? **

2. a contradiction between principles or conclusions that seem equally reasonable and necessary; a paradox

 The first contradiction is basically that comparing two different laws ad rules. For example in history there can be a speech said directly by someone however theres an article that talks about it. Which one would be more reliable? The speech cause it is the truth while the article is just someone who is talking about the truth from a different perspective. The second contradiction is basically saying that its a paradox. An example is likewhen media is reporting something bad but doesn't look that bad.

 The book is telling us about the truth and different ways we interpret truth differently. They talk about two different types of truth in the first couple of pages. One type was how people claim truth through authority, which is basically people and writings that are trusted well. For example the president, police, and teachers and for writings textbooks, biographies, and reference books are automatically in human nature are meant to be trusted worthy. The second example is trust from taboo, basically meaning the rights and wrongs in different religions. There many different religions and cultures around the world and some people believe that only people that are part of their religion are very trustworthy. I find that these two points in this chapter were to good examples of what will be explained in the book. Yes, I do agree with what the author is written because either makes logic sense that in many cases that both types f trust occur.
