It is this conviction which 95 3, 25 | journey in search of the truth, there exists a prior moral 96 3, 25 | one at that, to seek the truth and to adhere to it once 97 3, 25 | true to their nature. The truth of these values is to be 98 3, 25 | oneself to apprehend that truth even at levels which transcend 99 3, 26 | 26. The truth comes initially to the human 100 3, 26 | first absolutely certain truth of our life, beyond the 101 3, 26 | and the duty to know the truth of our own destiny. We want 102 3, 27 | attain universal and absolute truth; and this is a decisive 103 3, 27 | moment of the search. Every truth—if it really is truth—presents 104 3, 27 | Every truth—if it really is truth—presents itself as universal, 105 3, 27 | even if it is not the whole truth. If something is true, then 106 3, 27 | existence must be anchored to a truth recognized as final, a truth 107 3, 27 | truth recognized as final, a truth which confers a certitude 108 3, 27 | discover and articulate such a truth, giving rise to various 109 3, 27 | to reach the certitude of truth and the certitude of its 110 3 | different faces of human truth~ 111 3, 28 | 28. The search for truth, of course, is not always 112 3, 28 | distort a person's search. Truth can also drown in a welter 113 3, 28 | People can even run from the truth as soon as they glimpse 114 3, 28 | that they may evade it, the truth still influences life.

The thirst for truth is so rooted in the human 119 3, 29 | answers. One reason why the truth of these answers convinces 120 3, 29 | come. To be sure, not every truth to which we come has the 121 3, 29 | being can arrive at the truth.~ 122 3, 30 | to the different modes of truth. Most of them depend upon 123 3, 30 | experimentation. This is the mode of truth proper to everyday life 124 3, 30 | level we find philosophical truth, attained by means of the 125 3, 30 | religion and, on the other, the truth revealed in Jesus Christ. 126 3, 31 | being—the one who seeks the truth—is also the one who lives 127 3, 32 | Rather, what is sought is the truth of the person—what the person 128 3, 32 | abstract knowledge of the truth, but in a dynamic relationship 129 3, 32 | between persons, is linked to truth: in the act of believing, 130 3, 32 | entrust themselves to the truth which the other declares 131 3, 32 | authentic witnesses to the truth about existence. The martyrs 132 3, 32 | that they have found the truth about life in the encounter 133 3, 32 | lead them to abandon the truth which they have discovered 134 3, 32 | perceive deep down as the truth we have sought for so long, 135 3, 33 | human being to seek the truth. This search looks not only 136 3, 33 | looks towards an ulterior truth which would explain the 137 3, 33 | encounter and recognize a truth of this kind. Such a truth— 138 3, 33 | truth of this kind. Such a truth—vital and necessary as it 139 3, 33 | authenticity and certainty of the truth itself. There is no doubt 140 3, 33 | unstoppable—a search for the truth and a search for a person 141 3, 33 | Jesus Christ, who is the Truth, faith recognizes the ultimate 142 3, 33(28) | human aspiration for the truth and it is the basis of the 143 3, 34 | 34. This truth, which God reveals to us 144 3, 34 | modes of knowledge lead to truth in all its fullness. The 145 3, 34 | its fullness. The unity of truth is a fundamental premise 146 3, 34 | Jesus Christ. This unity of truth, natural and revealed, is 147 3, 34 | the Apostle reminds us: “Truth is in Jesus” (cf. Eph 4: 148 3, 34 | revealed in him is “the full truth” (cf. Jn 1:14-16) of everything 149 3, 35 | relationship between revealed truth and philosophy. This relationship 150 3, 35 | consideration, since the truth conferred by Revelation 151 3, 35 | conferred by Revelation is a truth to be understood in the 152 3, 35 | relationship between revealed truth and philosophical learning. 153 4, 37 | sought to subordinate the truth of Revelation to the interpretation 154 4, 38 | everyone to have access to the truth. In dismantling barriers 155 4, 38 | this touched the theme of truth. The elitism which had characterized 156 4, 38 | the ancients' search for truth was clearly abandoned. Since 157 4, 38 | abandoned. Since access to the truth enables access to God, it 158 4, 38 | many paths which lead to truth, but since Christian truth 159 4, 38 | truth, but since Christian truth has a salvific value, any 160 4, 38 | bolster and complete Christian truth. Its task is rather the 161 4, 38 | contribution, does not strengthen truth; but, in rendering the attack 162 4, 38 | disarming those who betray truth and wage war upon it, Greek 163 4, 40 | when he encountered the truth of Christian faith that 164 4, 41 | supreme good and ultimate truth in the person of the Word 165 4, 42 | know. Whoever lives for the truth is reaching for a form of 166 4, 42 | sum)”.42 The desire for truth, therefore, spurs reason 167 4, 43 | supremely the courage of the truth, a freedom of spirit in 168 4, 44 | judgement on the basis of the truth of faith itself: “The wisdom 169 4, 44 | since faith accepts divine truth as it is. But the gift of 170 4, 44 | judgement according to divine truth”.49~Yet the priority accorded 171 4, 44 | that “whatever its source, truth is of the Holy Spirit” ( 172 4, 44 | impartial in his love of truth.
