	Welcome to Common Ground Truth
		Common Ground Truth seeks to find and unite those individuals among a diverse citizenry who, in spite of their differences on a host of subjective matters, share common ideals and are willing to associate and actively participate in preservation and restoration of the transcendental truths.
		Specifically, Common Ground Truth seeks to unite people around shared truths for the purpose of taking action on issues critical to preservation and restoration of the transcendent truths upon which America was founded and which guaranteed the ultimate greatness of America.
		Common Ground Truth is dedicated to preservation and, when necessary, restoration of transcendent truths commonly acknowledged by people of differing cultures, political persuasions, and religious faiths.

		The guiding principle on which Absolute Truth Press was founded is to give a possibility of expression to artists in pursuence of their transcendent nature by offering them a channel by which their voice can be heard.
		Our belief is that while spiritual truths are absolute the adaptations of these truths reflect the time, place and circumstances in which they are being propagated and practiced.
		Absolute Truth Press searches to document these very sentiments.

	Truth, Prosentential Theory of [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Unlike some alternatives to the correspondence theory (e.g., the epistemic theories of truth of C. Peirce, Hilary Putnam, and Michael Dummett), the prosentential theory accepts that truth can be recognition-transcendent.
		The correspondence theory claims that snow’s being white is necessary but not sufficient for the truth of ‘snow is white.’ In addition to snow’s being white, the proposition that snow is white must stand in a relation of correspondence to the fact that snow is white.
		Epistemic theories of truth always have epistemic operators (e.g., ‘justifiably believes that…,’ ‘warrantedly asserts that…’) of some sort on the right-hand side of their analyses of truth.

	Truth and the Pragmatic Theory of Learning
		This "ideal truth" still remains within the realm of possible human knowledge, and hence is insufficiently remote and transcendent from the metaphysical realist’s perspective.
		The fundamental disagreement is exposed when the pragmatist retorts that she is indeed concerned with the relationship between knowledge and truth and refuses to admit any conception of truth having origins independent from the theory of human knowledge.
		The misuse of the notion of "truth" by rationalists is a primary example of an immense obstacle to human progress.

	20th WCP: Truth and Religion Reconsidered: An Analytical Approach
		Truth of religion is here identified with religious truth understood as knowledge orientated towards the ultimate deepest reality called by various names: God, Dharma, Tao, the Sacred, etc. A religion is true in the sense that it states that the transcendent, supernatural, sacred reality exists.
		Truth of religion is seen in the intimate personal confrontation with the sacred and in all-embracing commitment of the person to the sphere of the sacrum.
		The intra-religious truth concerns the supernatural content of religious beliefs and its truth can be determined only from inside of a given religion by a believer through one's own revelation of God or through appeal to the authority of the divine founder of that religion.

		The Great Books are the ones that deal with the great themes: the importance of faith; the need for justice; the battle between good and evil in the human soul as well as in the world at large (Moby Dick!); the reality of transcendent Truth; true love and chivalry; patriotism...you get the idea.
		I am very disturbed by the modern crisis of rewriting dictionaries--particularly in redefining the word "truth." Also, I hope your references to the truth are indicative of a belief in absolute truth.
		I had been downcast of late, without hope of escape, but THE JOLLY ROGER stormed the harbor, bearing the banner of TRUTH, and now I will leap aboard her and sail the Seven-Cyberseas, thus ending this run-on sentence.

		Epistemic theories of truth always have epistemic operators (e.g., ‘justifiably believes that…,’ ‘warrantedly asserts that…’) of some sort on the right-hand side of their analyses of truth.
		The equivalence schemata simply do not allow any room for the epistemic status of a proposition (or a belief or statement) being both necessary and sufficient for that proposition’s truth.

	Lying and the Politics of Representation
		Like all retrograde pedagogues, Holstun's strategy is to erase any discussion of the “politics of power and representation” by invoking “aesthetic ideology” (the fusion of language and the phenomenal) and set up a violent binary in which his own “truth” has a transcendent status and is not open to discussion or critique.
		His readers are urged to suppress the politics of truth and instead to focus their attention on extracting an “apology” from us.
		Just like Holstun's current e-mail post which takes charge of the truth in an authoritarian manner and as his private property, his failure to request the taping shows that he sees such public occasions not for critique-al exchange but as ritual moments for confirming his version of “truth."

		Realism can't explain Manifestation of Knowledge about Verification-Transcendent Truth-Conditions

	CHAPTER IV
		Such "outer" Transcendent is not only all-knowing but wisdom or knowledge itself, and, to the degree that knowledge implies a process of achievement or a grasp of something other, it would be more appropriate to speak not of infinite knowledge but of truth that is all-perfect or Truth Itself.
		Seen in the light of the Transcendent, being, or "to be", is to be radically myself, irreducible to nonbeing whether in the form of any reduction in my own being, subjection to another or merger into a mere member of a group.
		The focus of being seen in the light of the Transcendent, however, is not upon negations, but upon giving birth to the goodness of being and bringing this to a level of human life marked by an enriched Confucian harmony of beauty and love.

	Pieterse -- Essays in Philosophy
		This necessitates a contrastive relation in which the transcendent powers unilaterally constrain their human counterparts, compelling them to see the immutable "nature of reality," the "truth about the world," "the will of God," or whatever.
		Divine transcendence is thus transposed into a moral-ethical key: The Spirit is experienced as transcendent in a concrete interpretive context just insofar as she brings to the situation morally and spiritually superior resources for transformation, liberation, and healing.
		The radically historicist moorings of Rorty’s philosophy, coupled with his incessant invectives against absolutes, noncontingent truth, and transcendence, have led theologians and philosophers of religion to rather different judgments about the viability of meaningful dialogue with the philosopher’s neopragmatism.

	Call Me “Holmes” (though I won’t call myself that”)
		According to Long, because ‘I’ denotes the embodied-in-the-image person (or brain) rather than the experience-transcendent brain (in the experience-transcendent vat), the statement (or corresponding thought) “I am a brain in a vat” is again false in every context in which it is uttered, if one is a brain in a vat.
		After all, the BIV hypothesis is that I am a brain in an experience-transcendent vat, not a brain in a vat-in-the-image.
		The argument relies on a move akin’ to that from the logical truth of “I am here now” to its necessity.

	Steen: Grasping Philosophy by the Roots
		On the contrary, embodied philosophy grounds truth, although -- in a contemporary version of the skeptic’s adage that man is the measure of all things -- it grounds it in ourselves rather than in transcendent reality.
		The embodied basis of cognition has a related and still more radical entailment: there can be no single truth, even of a local kind; instead, truth is irreducibly relative to perspective.
		Evolution provides the pragmatic link that makes this construction non-destructive: truth is what works for us, because we are human beings living on this planet Earth.

	Truth, Prosentential Theory of [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Unlike some alternatives to the correspondence theory (e.g., the epistemic theories of truth of C. Peirce, Hilary Putnam, and Michael Dummett), the prosentential theory accepts that truth can be recognition-transcendent.
		The prosentential theory explains that any referring expression (e.g., a name, definite description, etc.) inherits its content from its anaphoric antecedent(s) and, when such an expression is conjoined to the truth predicate, a prosentence with the same content as the antecedent(s) results.
		It is a mistake to think that the correspondence theory is the only truth theory a metaphysical realist can buy into and that any critic of the correspondence theory will be an antirealist.

	Before the Foundation of the World
		Recall that, for the medieval mind and thus for the culture of Western Europe nearly until the dawn of the 18th century, the ground and reference of all truth was God, the transcendent Creator and personally immanent Lord, the “first beginning and last end” of all things.
		Even while lacking the relational and divinely-ordered understanding of human personhood and exchanging transcendent relational law for a relativistic absence thereof, daily life must bow to the impression or appearance of the autonomously-actualized individual because the subjective impression of our self-hood is a perception of reality.
		While men may hold differing opinions, may treat each other unkindly, and may in all senses behave in a fallen manner, only a society philosophically based on the transcendent foundation and immanent relation that we have heretofore described presents an ideal of functioning that is in fact stable.

	Collective Consciousness
		If schizophrenia were treated by a method that affirmed this truth to the point that they understood it, the drugs prescribed to suppress the prophetic hearing of voices would not be necessary.
		This dualism is light from dark, truth and error, the open door of the Holy Ghost and the delusion that God has sent to those that believe the lie.
		But this "deity" was not transcendent, not "above the world" in the theological sense, it was, rather, the collective evolving human consciousness.

	Soren Kierkegaard [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		If we have Christian faith, it is Christ as teacher who is the condition for receiving this truth - and he is conceived, precisely, as an incursion of the transcendent deity into the realm of human immanence.
		Christian faith is the only means for the immanent, temporal human being to have contact with the transcendent, eternal truth, since that faith consists in believing that Christ was the incarnation of God.
		Having established the absolute nature of transcendence through repeated parodies of these vain attempts in the aesthetic authorship, Kierkegaard proceeds to show through Anti-Climacus how various aesthetic concepts are transfigured from an ideal Christian point of view.

	Integral yoga
		The whole principle of Integral Yoga is to give oneself entirely to the Divine alone and to nobody else, and to bring down into ourselves by union with the Divine Mother all the transcendent light, power, wideness, peace, purity, truth-consciousness and Ananda of the Supramental Divine.
		This yoga accepts the value of cosmic existence and holds it to be a reality; its object is to enter into a higher Truth-Consciousness or Divine Supramental Consciousness in which action and creation are the expression not of ignorance and imperfection, but of the Truth, the Light, the Divine Ananda (Bliss).
		The object of the Integral Yoga is to enter into and be possessed by the Divine Presence and Consciousness, to love the Divine for the Divine's sake alone, to be tuned in our nature into the nature of the Divine, and in our will and works and life to be the instrument of the Divine.

	ENCYCLICAL LETTER of Pope John Paul II -- "Faith and Reason"
		Although each individual has a right to be respected in his own journey in search of the truth, there exists a prior moral obligation, and a grave one at that, to seek the truth and to adhere to it once it is known".
		For the reasons suggested here, it has seemed to me urgent to re-emphasize with this Encyclical Letter the Church's intense interest in philosophy--indeed the intimate bond which ties theological work to the philosophical search for truth.
		The chapter deals with the value of the human person created in the image of God, explains the dignity and superiority of the human being over the rest of creation, and declares the transcendent capacity of human reason.

	Logophobia: Eric Voegelin on SCIENTISM [Free Republic]
		Scientism is incompatible with Voegelin’s philosophical approach because the former begins with closure to transcendent reality; scientism refuses to engage in the philosophical search for higher truth.
		While scientism is open to truth and the existence of an objective material reality, it is closed to the spiritual reality of the inner life as experienced through participation in transcendence and expressed symbolically through myth, revelation, history, or philosophy.
		Scientism says that certain forms of experienced truth are, by definition, a priori false.

		Willis is then tagged by her remark that the classroom is a place "without regard for either scholarship or truth," which rejects even the possibility of "transcendent truth or knowledge." By these remarks, we come to a faint conception of what Himmelfarb meant when she made them.
		Willis admits that her own "conception of reality and truth is probably different from Gertrude Himmelfarb's." In this way, she does not deal with Himmelfarb at all.
		Willis deals with Himmelfarb far too sloppily, relegating her to several quotations which paint her as a "radical." She cites Himmelfarb's arguments only by the way in which they are "spurious" assumptions.

		During his intervention, Bishop Martino highlighted the unity between truth and peace, stating the it is only «possible to construct a renewed society and to solve the complex problems that the world faces today only upon the transcendent truth of the human person».
		During the Plenary of the General Assembly at its 53rd Session, Archbishop Martino stated that «to believe it possible to know a universally valid truth is no way to encourage intolerance; on the contrary, it is the essential condition for sincere and authentic dialogue between persons».
		In a similar way, through its recent document, the Conference of Bishops states that there are certainly signs that are an authentic source of social unity rupture, such as the deficient education, the disintegration of families and the lack of «paths of hope» for youth.

	The basically leftist character of modern conservatism
		That is, each existing branch of conservatism is attached to one or another aspect of a valid social or natural order, of an inherited culture, or of transcendent truth that it seeks to preserve against leftist reconstructions.
		There is not now a genuine conservatism, a conservatism that stands for the totality of truth in all its dimensions against the incursions of the left.
		If a true conservatism leads to a deference to the principles of truth, then a conservative should be concerned with the preservation of those principles, regardless of the race of those who agree to such principles.

	Inability to Restrain: Transcendence of Guidance Systems
		To actually live in the kingdom of the realization of cybernetic truth, the transcendent mind must commit to the principle of the primacy of compassion over religious obedience -- compassion must be upheld as being more precious than proof of transcendence of the self-control delusion which is egoic thinking.
		To actually live in the transcendent state, we must forego literal proof of our ego death, must forego violent disproof of egoic self-restraint and personal responsibility, and have no practical choice but to settle for a symbolic demonstration of self-cancellation.
		Self-transcendence is proven by self-destruction, but there must be a way to symbolically demonstrate transcendent cancellation of one's will and desires, while preserving life, health, and goodness.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Transcendentalism
		If, however, to the data of sequence furnished by experience we apply the a priori form causation, we are introducing a transcendental element which elevates our knowledge to the rank of universal and necessary truth: "Every effect has its cause." Kant, as has been said, does not always adhere to this distinction.
		The transcendentals are notions, such as unity, truth, goodness, being, which are wider than the categories, and, going beyond them, are said to transcend them.
		The terms transcendent and transcendental are used in various senses, all of which, as a rule, have antithetical reference in some way to experience or the empirical order.

	Jaspers
		For Jaspers, anything that obtains the truth of the transcendent from the beauty in nature to sophisticated symbols of religion, literature, and metaphysics are ciphers.
		The content of the transcendent through the threefold nature of ciphers can be understood as follows; firstly, by forming the approximate configuration of the totality of life; secondly, by emerging concrete images of symbols through mythical and poetic contexts; thirdly, by explaining the nature of the transcendent through metaphysical concepts.
		Jaspers insists as a cosmopolitan that the common ground, where mankind can have encounters with one another without abandoning their peculiar tradition, must be sought after.

	Anti-Lookism is not extreme
		It helps clarify my own analysis of liberalism and the liberal denial of the transcendent.
		Now it is true that both nominalism and liberalism ultimately boil down to a positive assertion of the nonexistence of truth.
