Litmus Truth Tests: Truth as Unconcealment. Truth in Communication. Truth cannot be separated from communicability. It only appears in time as a reality through communication. Abstracted from communication, truth hardens into an unreality. The movement of communication is at one and the same time the preservation of, and the search for, the Truth. The Ancient Greeks called this Logos. It applies to my being, my authenticity, and my grasp of the Truth that, not only factually am I not for myself alone, but I can not even become myself alone without emerging out of my being with other humans. Truth is not of one sort, single and unique in its meaning. It has as many senses as there are modes of communication in which it arises. For what Truth is, is determined by the Character of the Reality within which communication takes place. This human life of ours has the will to preserve and develop itself without limits; it wills satisfaction and happiness. To achieve these goals, the Reality of Human Life demands the communication of a community which can preserve life. Further, on this level of communication, the greater the danger ( ex; Y2K ) the more decisively should be the unity of the will of all humans be necessary or disaster will strike. We are what we are only through the community of mutually conscious understandings. The Truth within which humans stand and are is, in every form, Communication; the Truth exists for humans only insofar it achieves communicability by becoming speech or becoming utterable. There is no litmus test for Truth without communication. Each human is responsible for communicating, for making the Truth become real and conscious in the human community. Truth is Logos.
