View submission: Difference between Fact And Truth
Like there are philosophies that change how you live life (e.g. ethics). But this is not the case where the meaning of fact or truth really matter at all. Like whatever your interpretation of these words, it doesnt actually change any other theories (like whether it is a fact that murder is wrong or it is true that murder is wrong).
Maybe not immediately or obviously, but it's definitely the case that how you think about facts *generally* and, as a subset, *empirical* facts in contradistinction from other kinds of facts (if non-empirical facts exist) will affect all sorts of meaningful things - in particular, they might affect the way in which you're able to maintain that *moral* facts exist or normative facts more generally.
Furthermore, could I get a link explaining this distinction (preferably a link that explains it as simply and shortly as you guys did). I swear every website I look at has the fact = empirical truth and truth can have subjectivity.
You can read about facts here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/facts/
There's nothing here!
