Truth is a human value. The value is in the hunt. To say that there are no facts because we can’t define truth is like saying that there are no families because we can’t define love. Without facts, we are led leaderless. James Baldwin called truth “freedom which cannot be legislated, fulfillment which cannot be charted.” Leszek Kołakowski spoke of a “horizon of truth.” The horizon is to be chased. It is a pursuit worthy of free people.
