The article discusses the concept of a 'crisis of truth,' where the distinction between facts and opinions is increasingly blurred, undermining public trust. Drawing insights from Rollo May and Rainer Maria Rilke, it emphasizes the necessity of embracing questions instead of seeking absolute answers as a means to deepen our understanding of truth. It also highlights how learning to navigate this crisis involves courage, collaborative inquiry, and an openness to engage with others in meaningful discourse about knowledge and belief.
A crisis of truth is the result of an assault upon 'good knowing.' By embracing questions over answers, we foster a deeper pursuit of truth.
Good knowing depends upon our responses to absolute truth, including engaging in collaborative inquiry and having the courage to accept our limitations.
The crisis of truth blurs the lines between facts and opinions, leading to a misrepresentation of information that undermines trust in knowledge.
We live in a time where facts can be exalted to truth or diminished to mere opinions, eroding consensus and understanding.
