Unconcealedness As An Object
A key idea for me is to define “truth”
as “unconcealedness,” as the Greeks supposedly did, and as
Heidegger did after them, but then go on from there and define
unconcealedness as an object, not
an idea or math symbol.
This
grounds theological materialism, for example, in defining Supreme
Truth as the Supreme Object or Objects which is/are Godhood. Truth this way is seen
as secondary to the object, truth only defines or denotates the object. Why worship the definition of the object and not the object? Or why worship a half evolved object for that matter?
The
statement “a circle is round” is a class of truth but it should
not be made a God. First is the object, not the sound or word that
regards the object, or comes from the object.
