What Is Truth?

Before searching for truth, how was truth defined?

A search can begin with a definition inherited from a teacher, tradition, or book. That definition can then decide in advance which answers feel acceptable.

The talk questions that first step. Agreement with a respected speaker is not the same as having examined the premises of a claim.

This does not mean that evidence is unimportant or that every opinion is equally sound. It is an invitation to check the meaning of the words with which an inquiry begins.
