Iain McGilchrist Quotes

None Of Us Actually Lives As Though There Were No Truth. Our Problem Is More With The Notion Of A Single, Unchanging Truth.
The Word 'true' Suggest A Relationship Between Things: Being True To Someone Or Something, Truth As Loyalty, Or Something That Fits, As Two Surfaces May Be Said To Be 'true.' It Is Related To 'trust,' And Is Fundamentally A Matter Of What One Believes To Be The Case. The Latin Word Verum (true) Is Cognate With A Sanskrit Word Meaning To Choose Or Believe: The Option One Chooses, The Situation In Which One Places One's Trust. Such A Situation Is Not An Absolute - It Tells Us Not Only About The Chosen Thing, But Also About The Chooser. It Cannot Be Certain: It Involves An Act Of Faith And It Involves Being Faithful To One's Intentions.
