| Dec 4 at 2:53 | comment | added | Ian | If all truth is truth-of something, and if truth is the correspondence between a predicative judgment and a state of affairs (Husserl), then whether something is true or not depends on the judgment predicated in relation to a state of affairs. For example, a doctor might measure a patient's blood pressure and, in order to maintain the medical truth corresponding to that state of affairs, might need to conceal or even lie to the patient about their blood pressure to avoid altering it. Here, the doctor tells the truth from one point of view and does not from another. | |

| Nov 6, 2018 at 10:23 | comment | added | rus9384 | "Deliberately" is quite vague. Mood affects our behaviour, how we act "deliberately", and since these "deliberate" choices differ depending on mood, we can't say that we have a full control of ourselves. That's not a justification, of course. | |
