Free Thinking : The nation
From the UK, philosopher Jonathan Rée
Too true, true enough
I’ve always liked the pair of English expressions: True enough and Too true. Both of them imply agreement, but with a reservation; and they also suggest that the maxim ‘nothing in excess’ applies to truth as much as to anything else. What we need is not just truth, but the right kind of truth, the right measure of truth, and in an appropriate context and at the right time. At least that’s what I’m inclined to think; and it’s confirmed by lots of the comments I’ve received on earlier posts.
