Philosophy of History (History of Philosophy): Part III -
A Set of Insights into the Nature of Truth Determination*

0.   Introduction

	The following aphoristic monograph is an attempt to offer a relatively systematized vision of truth determination as a phenomenon, and, as a phenomenon in the formation of our historical appreciation of the Life-World (along with its philosophical appreciation and an historical appreciation of this formation of philosophical forms of comprehension). (0)

1.   An Introduction to the Determination of Truth Value

	The truth determination of facts is as molecular as those same facts under examination. (1)

	Truth values are molecular because they can never be atomic! (2)

	Facts are also ideological framed and therein interpreted. (3)

	Their molecular constitution guarantees that their pre-simulated truth determination can never be arrived at nor need be arrived at. (4)

	The re-appreciation of truth determinations can realize four modal flavours, i.e., as that treated as actual, non-actual, possible or as impossible (through fundamental internal inconsistency). (5) 

	Thence the current overall emergent truth determination of the overall fact under consideration is realized through an historical appreciation of these stages of pre-modifications whether we be aware of those historical processes or not. (6)

	Despite the impossibility of absolutistic truth determination an adequate relativistic truth determination usually is ascribed to a factual state of affairs given a prior adequacy of truth determinability. (7)

	Hence a truth determination associated with a factual state of affairs usually has three modal flavours, namely, actual, non-actual or possible (or potential). (8)

	This assumes the articulated factual state of affairs in question is not an impossible representation to begin with (through the impossible presence of fundamental internal inconsistencies in its presentation/re-presentation/representation). (9)

	Modification in truth determination implies modal flows between these three non-absolute modalities along with their re-thematized molecular construction, re-construction, etc., of their corresponding factual states of affairs, etc. (10)

	Because we live in the reality of this World-of-Life most truth determinations reflect this fact and manner of our-being-in-the-world-with-others. (11)

	Still, a set of true molecular truth components does not imply that the factual state of affairs in its simulated integrity is necessarily true overall, although, conversely, a few non-essential non-actual molecular determinations need not rule out the actual factual determination of that overall factual state of affairs. (12)

2.   The Epistemology of Truth Determination

	All factual states of affairs are meta-textually discerned hence ideologically presented/re-presented and their truth determinations reflect this fact. (13)

	This discernment of truth value is realized through a determination of the overall molecular constitution of that factual state of affairs in question along with the associated truth determination/s currently arrived in this process of its molecular simulation/re-simulation. (14)

	However, the overall truth determination of a factual state of affairs can never be arrived at internally, through an internal examination, because its situatedness needs to be appreciated from the perspective of its mode/s of presentation. (15)

	Molecular inputs into the truth determination of a factual state of affairs are usually to-hand being retrieved from cultural archives usually in a form ready to use, etc. (16)

	Although these inputs can be individually treated skeptically they can only be collectively treated in that manner from the perspective of the overall transcendental suspension. (17)

	Epistemologically, truth determination can be configured theoretically from an ordered analysis dealing with, respectively, first order pre-essentials, second order essentials, third order conceptuals, fourth order perceptuals, fifth order possible-factuals and sixth order actual-factuals. (18)

	Although presented in a linear fashion the same is correctly circular and super-imposable upon a hermeneutic circle (of three moments, namely, the first and second orders, the third and fourth orders, and, the fifth and sixth orders [corresponding to the transcendental object-state, the transcendental ego and the transcendental world, or, i.e., also analysis/part, experiential analysis-and-synthesis, and, synthesis/whole, etc.]). (19)

	Hence the complexity of truth determination as a process. (20)

	Even though most truth determinations are usually presented with an overall simplicity and fully determined integrity that phenomenologically may well be regarded as seemingly transparent and obvious. (21)
	Truth determinations are re-tested through some form of an overall transcendental suspension that re-simulates their hermeneutic circle of presentation/representation. (22)

	In this there is an intuitive counter-mirroring of the molecular constitution of that representation of the overall factual state of affairs under transcendental re-simulation. (23)

	Thence, through the suspension of the suspension the consequential flow realized then declares its re-perceived sense of an incremental truth re-determination. (24)

3.   An In-Depth Epistemological Examination of Truth Determination

	Affective emotions motivate truth determination. (25)

	But objectivity demands their transcendental suspension, etc. (26)
	
Cognitively, truth determination is an ordered affair despite orders being entered and thematized through processes of trans-cognitive judgment. (27)

Each order is backgrounded by its own sense of a field and those orders before and after it (from a perspective of epistemological complexity). (28)

Pre-essentiality determines input. (29)

Essentiality determines integrity of the conceptual state of affairs. (30)

Conceptuality determines the conceptual experience of the simulation/re-simulation of that under examination. (31)

Perceptuality determines the perceptual experience of the simulation/re-simulation to that extent it can be ‘envisioned’. (32)

Possible-factual examination determines the possibility of that state of affairs to exist as a potentially possible factual state of affairs. (33)

Actual-factual examination determines the perceived actuality of that state of affairs to exist as an actual-factual state of affairs. (34)

An overall transcendental suspension re-determining our truth determination of that state of affairs under re-examination. (35)

Our operating within the World-of-Life implying that all truth determination is a process of truth re-determination within the overall hermeneutic circle of its ideological situatedness. (36)

4.   An In-Depth Ontological Examination of Truth Determination

	In our engaged processes of truth deliberation there is an ontological priority with the apparently actual (as opposed to the epistemological priority with non-impossibility and possibility). (37)

	In this our overall truth determinations reflect the world to some extent or other. (38)

	When there is a major discrepancy between one person’s version and vision of the truth and some other person’s various additional methods need to be applied in order to determine the nature and resolution of this discontinuity. (39)

	This discontinuity being anomalous when it cannot be adequately accommodated. (40)

	This anomalous discontinuity being illusory (when both parties have defective processes of truth determination) or mistaken (theoretically, practically and/or critically), psychotically divergent, or, effectively divergent (because of its non-empirical basis in the mythological, imaginary, speculative, etc.), etc. (41)

	Correctly, truth determination is arrived at through a transcendental balance of both epistemological priorities and ontological priorities as exercised in the formation of its molecular re-simulation of that state of affairs under truth determination. (42)

	Thence this theoretical complexity of truth determination. (43)

	However, through the suspension of the suspension emotional motivation is re-allowed to progressively re-realize the apparent truth determination of the situation to hand. (44)

	Moreover, from our cultural archives most processes of truth determination are (directly) arrived at incrementally and micro-environmentally. (45)

	Thence, logical arguments can be exercised to broadly demonstrate the speculative re-simulation of that state of affairs under examination both ontologically (as it has appeared to have arisen and the consequences arising from the same) and epistemologically (as to how we generally believe what we have come to believe in that regard). (46)

	Building on prior research both culturally, socially and individually. (47)

	That an excess existential value flows from those determinations existentially 
arrived at through the adequate exercise of the overall transcendental suspension. (48)

5.   Conclusion

	Truth determination is both a simple affair and a complex affair. (49)

	It is arrived at incrementally through molecular and contextual considerations (these two aspects being the converse of each other in the same field). (50)

	There is an ontological priority with the contextual examination of the apparently real, i.e., that phenomenologically treated as valid (in our phenomenological description/s of the same). (51)

	There is an epistemological priority in our internal thematization of our simulation of that state of affairs under consideration (through removing impossibility and establishing possibility). (52)

	Impossibility is established pre-essentially through non-essential advancement (through these cognitive orders). (53)

	Lexical correspondences and the overall integrity of the same being established in the aesthetics of our re-simulation and reception of that state of affairs in our perception of its phenomenal/phenomenological essentiality. (54)

	Conceptual considerations enacted gives us an ethical de-ontological simulation of that state of affairs under consideration (through egological imputation). (55)

	Perceptual considerations enacted gives us an ethical pragmatical simulation of that state of affairs under consideration (through egological imputation). (56)

	Hermeneutical-ideological considerations establish its meta-textual possibility as a possible-factual state of affairs. (57)
	
	Positively treated and/or confirmed evidential considerations establish its coherence in our-World-of-Life as an actual-factual state of affairs (and thence archived in that modal determination). (58)

	Suspension of the overall transcendental suspension re-establishes a directly enacted emotional motivation in the re-simulation of acts of truth re-determination along with their subsequent consequential implications. (59)

	Thence the non-apparent complexity and apparent simplicity of truth determination. (60)
