The evolutionary process of defining the truth


I think we should include emotion and intuition in cognition to find the truth, and not merely logical mind-only dominance, which has usually ruled the sources of truth in religion, philosophy and science. William James suggested something like this.

Truth facilitates successful survival, but truth is not merely successful survival, nor is it merely Nietzsche's relativistic will to power, especially if ultimate success in survival and reproduction lead to the evolution of life to Godhood in the material/supermaterial world.

Then Godhood becomes the goal of truth as well as the highest success in survival. The goal of truth becomes the truth of Godhood, the living object, or objects, and not merely an idea or definition or logical formula, and not merely survival or power.
