Lesson Understanding
1 Truth and Opinion

Discover

Truth in metaphysics and the philosophy of language is the property of

sentences, assertions, beliefs, thoughts, or propositions that are said, in
ordinary discourse, to agree with the facts or to state what the case is. It is
most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an
original or standard. Truth is also sometimes defined in modern contexts as
an idea of <truth to self=, or authenticity.
Propositions is a statement about the world or reality. Propositions may
or not carry truth.
Knowledge is the clear awareness and understanding of something. It
is product of questions that allow for clear answers provided by facts.
Facts are propositions or statement which are observed to be real or
truthful.
Claim is a statement that is not evidently or immediately known to be
true. This means that any claim can be proven by verification and
experimentation.
Therefore, truthful statements can be considered as based on facts.
There are several views regarding truth. Philosophers emphasize the
importance of belief as a basis for determining truth. But as a philosopher,
we do not assume that every statemen is true. Remember the famous French
philosopher, Rene Descartes traced the need to philosophize to doubt.
In philosophy, systematic doubt is employed to help determine the
truth. This means that every statement, claim, evidence, and experience is
scrutinized and analyzed.
Philosophers always engaged with the concept of truth. Philosophers
consider truth as a kind of quality or value. Knowledge is the clear awareness
and understanding of something, since it is true knowing that we can
determine what is true.
Doubt has a very important purpose in philosophy as it drives our
desire to discover the truth. In philosophy, systematic doubt is employed to
help determine the truth.
A belief is true if it can be justified or proven through the use of one’s
senses. Another basis for determining truth us a belief or statement is true if
it is based on facts.

LU_Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person_Module2

 lOMoARcPSD|49070831

Getting consensus or having people agree on a common belief is another

way of determining what is true. Although this approach has certain
limitations. Getting everyone to agree on something may not take that belief
is true.
Philosophers also believe that claims and belief should be subjected to
test to determine truth. In determining truth requires also that a person can
prove a statement through an action.

Truth Vs Opinion

Identifying truth however can sometimes be tricky. The reason is that there
are times when we strongly held an idea that we feel <deep down= to be true. For
example, religious people strongly believed that there is life after death. Some people
who embraced democracy may passionately embraced the idea that the majority is
always right. Or on a more personal level you may feel strongly that your sister is
<selfish=.
However, we must not confuse strongly held beliefs with truth. Truth is
knowledge validated and when we say validated, we mean they are based on the facts
of reality.
You must understand dear student that the facts of reality are independent of
your thoughts, feelings, or preferences (Ayn Rand calls this the primacy of existence
[Rand 1982]). That is the characteristic of truth. For example, the statement <Jose
Rizal died in 1896= is true. You may not like that statement or deny it strongly. That
does not change the fact that the statement is true because it is based on what really
happened in the past. There are many sources that can validate the truth of that
statement if one cared to look.
However, when you say that <Jose Rizal is the greatest man who ever lived=
you are stating your preference and not facts. This is an opinion. Now it is true that
there are many facts about Rizal, but that statement is asserting something that is
beyond what the facts state. That statement represents not facts but your
interpretation of facts which may reveal your biases.

Fact Opinion
An opinion is a statement of belief
A fact is a statement that can be which may or may not be backed up by
proven true or false facts but cannot be proven true or
false.
Is objective Is subjective
Is discovered Is created
States reality Interprets reality
Can be verified Cannot be verified

Lesson Distinguishing
2 Truth and Opinion

Discover

The methods of philosophizing will help us learn the process of doing

philosophy in a systematic way. On the other hand, philosophizing is to think or
express oneself in a philosophical manner.
Although philosophy is an organized body of knowledge, the subject matter of
philosophy is questions, which have three major characteristics:
1. Philosophical questions have answers, but the answers remain in dispute.
2. Philosophical questions cannot be settled by science, common sense, or faith;
and
3. Philosophical questions are of perennial intellectual interest to human beings.

Now you can have an idea how philosophizing recognizes truth, let us apply it
in a various situation in your life. Everything you have encountered could either be
an opinion or truth. But what distinguishes one from the other? Let us look at the
following statement and observe the difference between truth and opinion.

Truth Opinion
1. the minimum fare for tricycle from 1. fare is increasing because the driver
Natividad, Naguilian, La Union to wants to have a high income.
Naguilian Public Market is 20.00.
2. Frederick Navarro arrived in La 2. Frederick Navarro arrived in La
Union at 01:15 pm. Union in the afternoon, he is supposed
to arrive in La Union in the morning
but because he feels lazy to wake up
early and feel bored to travel alone.

It is observed that statements in the first column are truth because they
contain ideas or information which are easily verifiable, which statement in the
second column are opinion since they need further facts which will provide
conclusion and beliefs in the given situation.

Conclusion is a statement based on a certain fact. Beliefs are statements that

express convictions that are not easily and clearly explained by facts. For example,
if your mother states <God created everything that is present in this entire world=,
proving that this statement is considered as truth, you need other person’s views
and experiences. Explanations are statements claiming to be true and provides
reasons to make the statements true.

 lOMoARcPSD|49070831

An understanding of opinions and facts and the mean to distinguish one from
the other can further improve our understanding and appreciation of varied views
and ideas.
The ability to determine truth goes hand in hand with the holistic perspective
and enables us to make wiser decisions, especially in choosing the ideas and views
which we find acceptable.
A critical mind aided by philosophy can help us from our own personal point
of view that can guide us in making decisions and actions when we faced with a
problem.
Philosophy can help us determine ideas that are truthful and acceptable,
which we can use form our own views regarding certain matters.

Lesson Difference Between

3 Fallacy and Bias

Discover

Both the Socratic and dialectic method are based on a discussion between
two or more people who carry differing views but wish to pursue truth by seeking an
agreement with one another. Meanwhile, the scientific method is a process of
determining truth or knowledge through experimentation, inductive and deductive
reasoning, and hypothesis or theory testing.
The scientific method, also called empirical method, is a process of
determining truth or knowledge through experimentation, inductive reasoning, and
hypothesis or theory testing.
Logic is the truth based on reasoning and critical thinking, it includes
analysis and construction of arguments. It serves as path to freedom from half-truths
and deception.

Types of Reasoning
Deductive Reasoning
In this type of reasoning, conclusion comes first, followed by main points,
and the last will be the supporting data, facts, examples, and evidence. General idea
comes first before the specific or idea.
Inductive Reasoning
In this type of reasoning, supporting data, facts, examples, and evidence
comes first followed by the main points and conclusion will be the last part. This is
vice versa of the deductive reasoning because idea comes first before the genera idea.
Every day in our experiences, we argued on so many things. In our family
we often argued on who is right and is wrong, who is smart and who is not, who is
handsome and who is not or who is the best mother of the father. What then is
argument?
Arguments are series of statements that provide explanations to convince
the listener or a reader that the opinion is truthful.

Types of Arguments
1. Fallacy or Fake arguments are group of statements that appear to be
arguments to support the conclusion.
Example: there is no hope in the Philippine government, because it is tropical
country.
What makes the statement fallacious? It is fallacious because climate has
nothing to do with hope of Philippine government.

2. Bias – refers to tendencies or influences which affect the views of the people
when looking at an opinion you must be aware of bias so that you can
objectively and critically examined points of view.

A fallacy is a defect in an argument other than it is having false premises.

To detect fallacies, it is required to examine the argument's content. Here are some
of the usually committed errors in reasoning and thus, coming up with false
conclusion and worse, distorting the truth.
