Why+Truth+Matters

By what means do people create antinomies to truth according to the authors of this reading?

Anitomy: 1) A contradiction or opposition, especially between two laws or rules 2) A contradiction between principles or conclusions that seem equally reasonable and necessary; a paradox

What point are these authors making? Do you agree?

According to the book, the truth is often what we fear and hate. No matter how much people try to escape it, the truth would always be the truth even if it is hard for us to accept. There are many ways of denying unwanted truths. Some examples of this are mental reservation, internal denial, authority (command approach), obfuscation, evasion, alternative evidence, taboo, and many more. When we look closely on each of these, we then realize that there are a lot of aspects and things to consider when proving the truth or basically just knowing the definition of truth itself.

The list is great, but why not discuss what they mean? Also, you don't complete the second part of the question, which is the whole point of the matter. Namely, that truth is manipulated by some for political agendas.
