Truth also was an odd construction anything long enough and it feels true. Say it with others and it really feels true. say it will feeling and it feels almost certain. Care about it being true for whatever reason (and their can be a multitude of such reasons) and it really will feel to be the case. Confuse it with another charm and the desire to believe what they say, and the true becomes one of those fixed public certainties: the trouble here hough is an odd one our very obession with true makes it so very easy to manufacture...

About Me
- Ranting Blog
- The aim is these blogs is to give a practical series of examples and off the cuff pieces of analysis which fit in to a far larger scale project of making Philosophy Political. Why does this matter? Because as Foucault says, one of them oddities of thinking is the extra silent thoughts one thinks without knowing it - call them assumptions or prejudicesor what you like. My aim in the pieces here, but also on the website, is then to reweave these assumptions, or at least aim to show how they might be unpicked. Hence the importance of the dictionary which is by far the most important entry here, and really deserves a blog of its own (it is called noted on media language)...
