Problelmatic Truth

Dewey wrote on the human conception of truth. What we must consider before we pounce on the missing ribbed male is the philosophical extrapolation of truth. Are we asking if this color is pink and we hold up a pink shirt. No, my fellow mortals. Truth philosophically speaking dears excuse the familiarity , is the end result of a hypothesis. Is my theory that delving into coded genetic patterns of thought is as meaningless as postulating on the existence of God. My truth is this we learn through the layering of one outwardly imposed sensation after another. The end result may differ in that one layered can see the heavens and the other layered only the earth happens after the age of cognizance of the learning organism. Dewey dealt with his own end results, determining the validity of his postualte. He was not concerned with issues of morality or of whose good. If it works, do it again. His staunchest foe and friend was Bertrand Russell who relished a good sandwich in between his pot roast.
