    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?
