Truth is not simply a correspondence between two distinct elements, but instead the ultimate nature of reality itself. It can be seen as a holistic and dynamic notion that is ever-changing, defying precise and rigid definitions. As philosopher Iain McGilchrist puts it, “Truth is not so much ‘out there’, lurking to be discovered, as it is being made — like a potter’s vessel — from the mix of subjective and objective aspects of experience.” The pursuit of truth lies in recognizing the inextricable balance between our subjective and objective experiences. It is only from this tension between self and the Other that we can begin to understand the true nature of what is real.
