    Growing Up Absurd" by Paul Goodman, (p. 179), 1956.
  • It is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty.

    Thomas Henry Huxley (2012). “Lectures and Essays”, p.247, tredition
  • It is in the best interests of civilization and our economy and our nation to understand what objective truths are as revealed by the methods and tools of science.

  • Our decisions need not be seen as resting on procedures that are merely instrumental in making judgments that are reliably truth-tracking. The procedures might be more directly related than that to truths about what is right or good, or about what we ought to do, or to principles that tell us what is true about these matters. And I have no metaphysical theory about the truth-conditions of such truths, except to say that as objective truths, they must be independent of the attitudes, decisions or actions that they are supposed to justify or for which they are to offer reasons.

  • ...words are the gateway to reality, the means by which we engage with the objective truth beyond ourselves.

    Joseph Pearce (2012). “Bilbo's Journey: Discovering the Hidden Meaning of the Hobbit”, p.27, TAN Books
  • Human knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.

    Albert Einstein (2013). “Albert Einstein, The Human Side: Glimpses from His Archives”, p.70, Princeton University Press
  • I recognize that memory is far from infallible though. If I feel like I can't accurately describe something, I just leave it out. I also do things like write "he talked about ..." instead of writing direct quotes. But generally I feel like since my stories are very obviously meant to be my perception of an event rather than the objective truth this gives me a lot of leeway.

  • I'm an educator, and I'm a scientist, and I speak what is objectively true. And if that offends you, I can try to have a conversation with you to ask why it offends you, and tell you why objective truth should not offend you because that's how the world works.

  • I don't know if there is really an objective truth about either. I liken this to what Buddhism says about the individual, that change starts with the individual. I think it is really about purifying your own actions, and I have seen that in my own life.

  • The most ancient parts of truth . . . also once were plastic. They also were called true for human reasons. They also mediated between still earlier truths and what in those days were novel observations. Purely objective truth, truth in whose establishment the function of giving human satisfaction in marrying previous parts of experience with newer parts played no role whatsoever, is nowhere to be found. The reasons why we call things true is the reason why they are true, for to be true means only to perform this marriage-function.

  • You don't need to be a scientist to know Earth's age or that life evolved. You just need be one who embraces objective truths

  • It is wrong for a man to say that he is certain of the objective truth of any proposition unless he can produce evidence which logically justifies that certainty. This is what Agnosticism asserts; and, in my opinion, it is all that is essential to Agnosticism. That which Agnostics deny and repudiate, as immoral, is the contrary doctrine, that there are propositions which men ought to believe without logically satisfactory evidence; and that reprobation ought to attach to the profession of disbelief in such inadequately supported propositions.

  • If you take sales presentations and brokers of commercial real estate and businesses... I'm 70 years old, I've never seen one I thought was even within hailing distance of objective truth.... 'incentive-caused bias,' causes this terrible abuse. And many of the people who are doing it you would be glad to have married into your family compared to what you're otherwise going to get.

    Charlie Munger's speech on the psychology of human misjudgment at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, June 1995.
  • Imagine a world in which we are all enlightened by objective truths rather than offended by them.

  • Objective truth itself is sometimes often seen as a right wing Republican-Christian plot to take over the government (though the rhetoric is cleverer than that, that's the bottom line).

  • Art is not and never has been subordinate to moral values. Moral values are social values; aesthetic values are human values. Morality seeks to restrain the feelings; art seeks to define them by externalizing them, by giving them significant form. Morality has only one aim - the ideal good; art has quite another aim - the objective truth... art never changes.

  • Theatre critics have no special access to the truth. And there should be no objective truth to art.

  • Intellectuals resist faith longer because they can: where ordinary people are helpless before the light, intellectuals are clever enough to spin webs of darkness around their minds and hide in them. That's why only Ph.D.s believe any of the 100 most absurd ideas in the world such as Absolute Relativism, or the Objective Truth of Subjectivism, of the Meaningfulness of Meaninglessness and the Meaninglessness of Meaning, which is the best definition of Deconstructionism I know.

  • You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.

  • They amuse themselves by playing an irrelevant ecclesiastical game called "Let's Pretend." Let's pretend that we possess the objective truth of God in our inerrant Scriptures or in our infallible pronouncements or in our unbroken apostolic traditions.

    John Shelby Spong (1994). “Resurrection: myth or reality? : a bishop's search for the origins of Christianity”, Harpercollins
  • If you didn't believe in objective truth, arguments would be just toys, or games, or jokes.

    Peter Kreeft (2016). “A Refutation of Moral Relativism: Interviews with an Absolutist”, p.59, Ignatius Press
  • Totalitarianism, however, does not so much promise an age of faith as an age of schizophrenia. A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud. Such a society, no matter how long it persists, can never afford to become either tolerant or intellectually stable.

  • Wherever there is objective truth, there is satire.

    Wyndham Lewis (1950). “Rude Assignment: A Narrative of My Career Up-to-date”
  • Every true faith is infallible. It performs what the believing person hopes to find in it. But it does not offer the least support for the establishing of an objective truth. Here the ways of men divide. If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, have faith. If you want to be a disciple of truth, then search.

    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Christopher Middleton (1996). “Selected Letters of Friedrich Nietzsche”, p.7, Hackett Publishing
  • In my reviews, I feel it's good to make it clear that I'm not proposing objective truth, but subjective reactions; a review should reflect the immediate experience.

    Interview With Keith Phipps, film.avclub.com. October 4, 2011.
  • The only objective truth that photographs offer is the assertion that somebody or something... was somewhere and took a picture.

    Allan Sekula (1984). “Photography against the grain: essays and photo works, 1973-1983”
  • If factual information upsets you, then you are creating a world that is not embracing objective truths, and that's not how you advance a democracy.

  • All sentient beings - all holons in fact - contain Buddha-nature - contain depth, consciousness, intrinsic value, Spirit - and thus we are all members of the council of all beings... And the ultimate objective truth is that all beings are perfect manifestations of Spirit or Emptiness

    Ken Wilber (1998). “The Essential Ken Wilber”, p.101, Shambhala Publications
