Well, that only brings to my mind Sartre, which I’m sure is not what you’re getting at. I’d argue all human concepts are makeshifts, ‘good enough’ notions, which do not map 1:1 onto the actuality of things in themselves. We approach truth but probably can never really achieve it.
-
there cannot be a truth outside of the senses so good enough notion is the truth.
-
Isn’t that solipsism though? There is truth from the pov of the cosmos, superior to all our ‘truths’.
-
pov of the cosmos is us.

Not really, though I think we may be granted a portion of the truth. To each his portion.
-
by us I mean the beings with awareness. each has his own portion (perception) the whole truth is impossible to grasp.

1. Knowing is Being 2. Being is not limited 3. Knowing is not limited Thus there is no truth which can not be known
-
it can be unknowable to us limited humans. doesn’t mean it is unknown to rest of the cosmos.
