"I think it would have been better if the pragmatists had said, 'we can tell you about justification but we can’t tell you about truth'. There’s nothing to be said about it. That is we know how we justify beliefs, we know that the adjective 'true' is the word we apply to the beliefs that we’ve justified. We know that a belief can be true without being justified. That’s about all we know about truth. And justification is relative to an audience and to a range of truth candidates; truth isn’t relative to anything. Just because it isn’t relevant to anything there's nothing to be said of it. Truth with a capital T is sort of like God, you know there's not much you can say about God." - Richard Rorty
