Agreed.
Whether truths are accesible, it seems to me a healthy exercise of the mind to try and get at them nonetheless. Not only that, but the pursuit alone can be useful.
We see such in science. Though scientific inquiry only ever yeilds an approximate model of the universe, albeit a continuously sharpened one, it's endevours still lend insights which can help solve problems and produce potent technologies.
I say we keep up the sisyphean task of truth-seeking in full recognition of it's ultimate futility, in denial of wishful wanton delusion. Embracing the Absurd seems to me like a sort of intellectual honesty given the circumstance of our mysterious existence.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yes, this is beautifully put, and I agree. Our lives are full with sisyphian tasks like that, yet we have to keep rolling that rock uphill... ;-)
