Why+truth+matter

Here is from where i get the information:



1. By what means do people create antinomies to truth according to the authors of this reading? - some people say truth is ugly so they hate it. - but there are some people like the truth.

- authority says that it is wrong and it doesn't need hard thinking for people and a lot of them comfort in their life. - Taboo.

There is a longer list of these you should refer to. Some include authority, taboo, shoot the messenger.... Look for them in the reading.

antinomies: opposition, especially between two laws or rules
2. What point are these authors making? Do you agree? I think the author is trying to say that the truth is never really good, here is what he say “This sort of truth may be a number of things- bracing, interesting, - but it is not exactly beautiful, and it is certainly not comforting and reassuring.” But truth matter because it's hurt some people i think not some all people. yes i agree with the author because truth is very important to have good society and people have emotion if we don't tell the truth we will hurt them that's mean lose them too because after they know it's not the true they know this person is not good person. The main idea to write this book is i think because this book is scepticism about the truth, otherwise " what is the meaning of the truth and does it matter or not?" Revisit the last sentence in the chapter where the author says the truth is important to avoid manipulation by those who want you to believe certain things for political reasons. This is what the authors fear.
