What Is Truth?

In this episode of Disagreeing Well: The Podcast About Polarization, I explore one of the basic challenges of combatting polarization – truth itself. In a world where competing viewpoints all claim that the facts are on their side, understanding the nature of truth is crucial to the discussion.To help us explore “truth”, I am joined by Jeffrey Dudiak, a Christian philosopher and Professor at The King’s University in Edmonton, and author of Post-Truth? Facts and Faithfulness.In our discussion we consider a different way of thinking about truth. Instead of something we simply have, Jeff suggests truth is something we live out— something that we are faithful to – in our lives.  Along the way, we explore the nature of polarization, why people can look at the same evidence and come to different conclusions and the importance of humility in making space for others in our divided world.Learn more about Jeff’s book.
