ABSTRACT
The prevalent notion that Modern philosophy begins with the subjective, as in the case of Descartes, is misleading. Whether one refers to Descartes or to Aristotle, both begin with the objective truths of consciousness, and it is the particularities of the truth contents or the noematic side and the implications by analogy that may be drawn from these truths that is the interest of philosophy to explore. Philosophical truth is objective and not subjective in that the truths which are known are known as objective truths whereas the venue in which they are known is the immediacy of subjective introspection. Aristotle’s statement is known to be true because of the property of the statement as being true. It is from the side of the noema that truth is discovered in philosophy. Philosophy is only and always involved with objective truth, and not subjective truth, whether it be in the philosophy of Aristotle or Descartes.
