Objective truth

שו”תObjective truth
asked 7 years ago

Hello Rabbi,
I assume that when God gave the Torah, He intended a certain truth. Assuming that the systems of considerations are systems built on a priori dimensions, how does God expect us to reach the objective truth? Or alternatively, if there is an objective truth, how can we reach it, if at all?
*The question became more acute for me in light of the book What Is…, which sharply describes the mythical system that is constructed a priori at the foundation of every mechanism.

He probably intended for a conceptual and practical framework and not for bottom lines, otherwise he would have had to elaborate more. He probably also knows humans because he created them, and therefore our assumption is that what is interpreted is acceptable to him even though we have no way of reaching objective truth. Especially since, as I have explained in several places, autonomy in our decision-making is no less important to him than the truth of the bottom line.
