	Seek truth from facts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seek truth from facts (Chinese: 实事求是, pinyin: shí shì qiú shì) is a slogan in the People's Republic of China referring to pragmatism.
		The phrase means to look for economic and political solutions that have practical application rather than economic and political solutions based on political ideology (such as those of Mao Zedong).
		Seek Truth from Facts was originally a slogan promoted by Mao.

	Truth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth; whilst on the surface of this world, all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
		Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
		Truth does not consist in minute accuracy of detail, but in conveying a right impression; and there are vague ways of speaking that are truer than strict facts would be.

		Those who expect or think that truth is something that is readily available as something to be handed them on a silver platter by all the common or established sources of information, are not seeking truth and thus will never have it, especially on critical or controversial matters.
		The truth upon certain subjects is hard to find or is often concealed from the public because such truth and facts are not in the best interest of those in control or in high places.
		If someone reveals the truth that paper money is unlawful and not money, or that a citizen is not required to have a driver's license to travel, they are opposed by those who are a part of that system.

		The reason for its popularity is that it is thought that for a man to say that facts exist is proof of his bigotry.
		Thus, when on the phone I asked John whether it was a fact that he was attempting to converse with me on the phone, and he said 'No', and I then rang off, I was by definition rude, because I was undermining the politically correct dogma that facts do not exist.
		The removal of the solid ground of fact from which to develop is a powerful defence of the status quo and its high priests.

	How To Argue - Truth And Facts
		South calls truth a great stronghold, "barred and fortified by God and Nature ; and diligence is properly the understanding's laying siege to it, so that, as in a kind of warfare, it must be perpetually upon the watch, observing all the avenues and passes to it, and accordingly make its approaches.
		But "truth is one forever, absolute, while opinion is truth filtered through the moods, the blood, the disposition," hence the sincere seeker after truth will endeavor to discover mistakes in his own reasoning as well as in that of others.
		When a man earnestly seeks the facts and gets full possession of them, he should speak positively, if at all, since most men have a sufficient supply of doubts of their own.

		This means such things as seeking truth from facts, concretely analyzing the factual conditions, and considering the various ideas of the masses in light of the general principles of Marxism.
		After the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiaoping claimed that "seeking truth from facts" was the central element of Mao Thought and he used it as the "philosophical basis" for his own pragmatic approach to China's problems.
		Interpreted properly, however, "seeking truth from facts" may well be considered a central element of Mao Zedong's thought, and even—in generalized form—a central element of Marxism as a whole.

	Truth
		Indeed there are some who say that the idea of "truth" itself is an illusion which, on the face of it, seems so obviously contrary to reason that maybe we should not bother with them at all but just tap our heads and say "They're crazy!".
		This is similar to the truth, falsehood or paradox of mathematical statements.
		Scientific truth is thus always provisional because it must, in principle at least, be capable of being proven false by some kind of practical experiment.

		In fact, however, veering with the wind is in itself a grave mistake, a contravention of the Party spirit which all Communists should cherish.
		In fact, the current debate about whether practice is the sole criterion for testing truth is also a debate about whether people's minds need to be emancipated.
		Seeking truth from facts is the basis of the proletarian world outlook as well as the ideological basis of Marxism.

		It is true, that the life of a journalist is a wonderfully independent opportunity to probe your interests, to seek truth from facts, and to engage others in what you have learned and try to get them to share your curiosity through the quality of your reporting and writing.
		But the sad truth is in the 30 years I have been in this profession I have seen it sacrifice all too much of that independence in a rush toward pack journalism and political correctness far too often.
		To me what is most appealing about the President is that he does have a moral center and a set of clear convictions and the fact that he sees the world in fairly simple terms is actually a virtue, and not a fault because he has an intelligent cabinet to handle details.

		But truth being on the side of the Tibetan people, we feel the need from time to time to restate the facts plainly, and trust that this will serve the cause of truth and justice.
		Tibet's status at the time of the Chinese invasion in 1949 must be judged on the basis of the facts existing at that time and during the decades that preceded it, that is, on the basis of Tibet's modern history rather than, as China tries to do, its ancient history.
		The facts show that the Tibetan Government was coerced into accepting the document drafted by China and imposed upon the Tibetan negotiators under the threat of all-out military conquest.

		To take such an attitude is to seek truth from facts.
		"Facts" are all the things that exist objectively, "truth" means their internal relations, that is, the laws governing them, and "to seek," means to study.
		We should proceed from the actual conditions inside and outside the country, the province, county or district, and derive from them, as our guide to action, laws that are inherent in them and not imaginary, that is, we should find the internal relations of the events occurring around us.

		This is despite the fact that his aides are just telling Jiang what he likes to hear — and that in good old CCP tradition, they stand to gain in power and perks should their boss stay on at the helm for a few more years.

		To the Seekers of truth, Truth, and The Truth I am reminded of the classic parable of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object (In its current incarnation, it is the "Truth, as I see it" meeting "Facts, as they are").
		It is easy to agree that truth, after all, is subjective, and is a function of one's perception (refractive index?).
		Frequently, one comes across this approach to truth when one is trying to reconcile two hopelessly opposed, but equally forceful views about anything.
