Truth And Counter Truth (1869)

Truth and Counter Truth is a book written by Thomas Richey in 1869. It is a philosophical and theological work that explores the concept of truth and its counterpoint, falsehood. The book is divided into three parts, each of which examines a different aspect of truth and counter-truth. In the first part, Richey discusses the nature of truth and its relationship to knowledge and belief. He argues that truth is not simply a matter of objective fact, but is also influenced by subjective factors such as personal experience and cultural context.The second part of the book focuses on the various ways in which truth can be distorted or denied. Richey examines the role of propaganda, deception, and ideology in shaping public opinion and suppressing dissent. He also explores the psychological and social factors that can lead people to reject the truth or cling to false beliefs.In the final part of the book, Richey offers a Christian perspective on truth and counter-truth. He argues that the ultimate source of truth is God, and that human knowledge is always limited and fallible. He also explores the role of faith in accepting and understanding the truth.Overall, Truth and Counter Truth is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the most fundamental concepts in philosophy and theology. It offers a nuanced and complex understanding of truth that is relevant to contemporary debates about politics, media, and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
