One might wonder what the purpose of a worldview would be if not to answer these questions. Acquire power? Certainly not to discover the truth since it tends to hide or deny the truth.

if we were to take the three forms of truth suggested on this board: ie philosophical, theological, scientific--and x out scientific--which by definition is explicitely quantifiable...- Then I think it would be appropriate to say that in the cases of both theological and philosophical truth-- truth without love is not truth. Inversely, love without truth is not love.

truth without love is not truth.

Truth is that which corresponds to reality. If someone decides to inflict injury on you by revealing some hidden secret of your past or your parents' past, there may not be love but there still is truth.

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed, but I would capitalize it. Truth without Love is not Truth; Love without Truth is not Love.

Dataman: Truth is that which corresponds to reality.

Also very interesting. One's concept of reality, i.e. what is "all that there is" will have everything to do his concept of truth or Truth.
