28. The rejection by some post-modern thinkers of the very idea of truth is a category mistake. It mistakes the claims to truth for the reality of it. As long as there is such thing as a lie, there is also such a thing as the truth. But it is perfectly possible for what is claimed as the truth to be, in practice, a lie. Even if it technically accurate, it may still function as a lie if it is being used in such a way as to assert my community's absolute and unique possession of this thing we call "the truth."
