ABSTRACT
The pursuit of knowledge aims at discovering the truth of things. But if truth pivots on the idea that truths state how things actually stand, without any inherent reference to our beliefs, views and opinions about that matter – if, as mainstream tradition has it, truth is something altogether detached from human thought and ideas – then how can we possibly achieve knowledge about it? How could we then ever validly claim that our thought corresponds with thought-external reality so as to get at the real truth? How can we get there from here?
