Truth, Errors and the Whole

It is thought to be foolish in today's vast world of specialties to seek a whole philosophy, but some people seem to have an instinctive need to put it all together.

In building a philosophy there will be errors, but the truth seems to come out of seeing the whole system, as Walter Kaufmann said.

I know there are errors in various propositions in the philosophy of theological materialism and the Evolutionary Church but the overall thrust is toward overall truth which encompasses many fields. People can pick apart the trees and not see the woods, but I hope people will see the woods.

To trust the truths presented, look to see if the truths are consistent with other things you know, even things known intuitively. Does it all cohere?, because truth involves correspondences.

Finally, truth is an object, inseparable from the object, the truth is not merely a proposition defining truth. When pragmatism says “truth is what works,” the work is dependent on being produced by an object. The Supreme Truth is the Supreme Object or Objects of Godhood, which the material world evolves to from lesser objects. Take that as the whole, as the woods, and then the trees in the woods make sense. Don't worship only the idea of the woods without the trees, as religion and philosophy too often do.
