Nov 9, 2020 at 16:18 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Read it (sorry for not doing this at once). Sorry but I could not find in this Tractatus anything that would support your interpretation of it as postulating inseparability of epistemic and ontological. What I could find there is all about knowability and discoverability of truth, not anything about its existence or nature. My impression is that he finds ontological status of truth self-evident and not needing any discussions, and contemplates only its reachability, which in the end he also finds so clearly achievable that he views people sharing Socratic views being completely mentally blind.

Nov 6, 2020 at 5:17 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე That is your point of view. There are people whose points of view contradict it. I am not claiming there is evidence in support of them and against you, it is just that the question was about all points of view, not only yours. Or do you have a proof that they all are wrong and you are right?
Nov 6, 2020 at 3:43 comment added user37981 Sorry, I cannot make it any more plain. Knowlege can only be experienced as an aspect of being. There is no separation between the knower and the intelligible. Truth is not an extrinsic quality, but an affirmation of accrual of certain knowledge in the human mind.
Nov 5, 2020 at 6:58 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Correct me if I misunderstand you, but once again you address entirely epistemological aspects of truth, completely avoiding its ontological status. Certainly you may view truth as an object of human discourse, but this is not what question was about. I asked about truth as something independent of knowledgeability. This is in fact in accord with truth in mathematical sense, as introduced by Tarski and others. They radically distinguish truth and derivability. There are several theorems to the effect that there are true propositions which you can never discern as such.
