Truth and Knowledge (Berry)

October 26th, 2007  |  Published in Education, Quotes, Truth

I think it is a kind of folly to assume that new knowledge is necessarily truer than old knowledge, or that empirical truth is truer than nonempirical truth. But I also do not believe that factual truth is or ever can be sufficient truth, let alone ultimate truth.

–Wendell Berry, “Going to Work” in Citizenship Papers (2003), p. 40
