Harvard’s motto is Veritas, i.e., Truth.
Today’s Crimson says a new philosophy professor has joined the Harvard faculty.
The professor, Mark E. Richard, is the author of a 2008 book, When Truth Gives Out.
For related material, see this journal on Oct. 19, 2002: “What Is Truth?.” The conclusion of that entry quotes Jack Nicholson’s classic remark, “You can’t handle the truth.”
For one way to handle the truth, see Pilate Goes to Kindergarten.
