If I understand you correctly we agree that, unlike the postmodernists,
there is such a thing as "truth." But like "value," different people
experience truth differently depending upon their individual life
experiences and histories.
"Truth, Beauty, Good" -- all patterns of Quality, all as "real as
rocks" wouldn't you say?
