The conscious understanding presupposes obviously, internal comprehensions, in other words, the conscious understanding is the outcome of a chain of comprehensions.
What we consider as "truth" is thus a compound group of,
- primordial truths which are memorized in the inmost depths of our cells and which enable the dynamics of the particles, atoms and molecules composing our physical identity ; they are imprescriptible truths which concern unchanging evolutive ways of the inert matter.
- truths with a strong objectivity as the knowledge of the gravitational force about which we know that it depends only on the masses and distances,
and truths with a weak objectivity as those based only on hypothesises.
- "sufficient truths" which enable the daily life of all beings of the same species.
For example, sufficient truths of the worker bees are hardly different from those of their queen, …, those of the scientist are similar to those of the farmer.
Observe that our notion of sufficient truth is different of the concept : "épistémé", developed by Michel Foucault, a concept which highlights the fundamental codes of a culture to a definite epoch.
- necessary truths, as the "lie" quoted by Plato :
"If really the lie is useless to Gods, but useful for men as a remedy, it is evident that employment of such a remedy must be reserved to doctors and that the uninitiated persons have not to use it. " (cf. The Republic III - 388d, 389d),
comment resumed by Averroes (1126 ? - 1198) :
"For leaders, it's good to tell lies to people in the same way that medicament is good for disease. And, as it is only the doctor who gives medicament, the one who tells lies to people, is the king in exercise of his kingship.",
and developped by Maimonides (1138 – 1204) :
"You have to imbue yourself of what we said on the beliefs ; or authority inculcates a true belief which is itself the only purpose, for example, the belief to unity, eternity and God's non-materiality, or the authority inculcates a necessary belief to stop mutual violence, or to acquire good morality." (cf. Guide).
- personal truths associated to lived experiences, which are "nourishing" the abstraction’s domain and participate of the concepts, ideas, anticipations, …, and even, are expressions of the religious feeling.
So, we have several kinds of truths at our disposal,
notably civilizations truths which have been promulgated out of necessity and which, nowadays, sometimes, are invalidated by the sciences.
Thus we understand why there are false truths.
Nevertheless, are not this false truths the singular expressions of our freedom degrees ?
*
Actually, we are imbued by relative and sufficient truths,
- relative truths because for example, we judge according to antonyms: slow - rapid, …, black - white, …, right - left, …,good – evil,
- sufficient truths because they enable existence.
Let's quote, for example, among these relative and sufficient truths, one among the most emblematic : the simplistic and common understanding of the vision according to which that are the eyes which see ; nowadays, it is moreover one of the stumbling-blocks of the philosophy (and theology).
What can we say about it ?
We know that frequencies of the light's waves are extremely numerous, nevertheless the visual organs cannot enable us to perceive, distinctly, every frequency of this "multitude".
We recognize only groupings of this waves.
Thus, it's by means of an innate grouping process more or less "subtle", and by language, that we can recognize the colors and name them.
More or less subtle because these innate groupings take place,
- in our retina by means of only three types of photoreceptors, each type "tuned" on a group of wave's frequencies (the pigeons have four types of photoreceptors, of this fact, pigeons distinguish better the light’s waves and therefore the colors, than us).
- and in our brain because we would have four other types of receptors which would enable from detecting spectres of the red, yellow, blue green, and violet (according to experiments made on very young children).
Additional precisions,
- the biological receptors are not tuned on a unique frequency but on a frequency to which are associated other frequencies, often of weaker amplitude.
We understand better so, why we can see a large spectrum of colors as the rainbow.
- the perception by the eyes requires improving of "brain's structure" after birth, by means of the first lived experiences ; let's remind that the man’s baby begins to be conscious of himself only at age of some twenty months.
Consequently, certainly in a first analysis, we can say that natural light is a mix of seven colors : violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, but in reality, it’s a "mix of electromagnetic waves" of various frequencies.
Besides, recognition of the colors requires differentiation and interpretation of the characteristics of these electromagnetic waves according to "value’s references" common to our species.
More precisely, recognition of the colours requires the intervention (implication) of an only creative entity able to transcend their electromagnetic waves in order to differentiate them and judge them according to value references.
The comprehension of vision's processes leads therefore to new truths that complete current scientific truths.
Let's insist more.
To reinforce this point of view, it is not necessary to know all the numerous theories on the waves and radiations, more and more esoteric, proposed successively by Descartes (1596 - 1650), Huygens (1629 - 1695), Newton (1642 - 1727), Young (1773 - 1829), Fresnel (1788 - 1827), ..., Maxwell (1831 - 1879), Broglie (1892 - 1987), ...
It is enough to wonder what are primordial causes of some commonplace experiments.
For example, we know that when a disk which has sectors on which are respectively painted the rainbow's colors, is rotating quickly, we see this disk white.
Why that ?
Is it because our eye mix the colors, as it is usually said ?
Evidently no.
The eye is not an operator.
Eye is a biologic structure which enables with nerves, transmission of visual perceptions to brain, so that these can be recognized and interpreted by a creative entity who transcends them ; nevertheless when these perceptions, these colors, pass too quickly, this entity cannot differentiate them.
The Maxwell spinning-top on which there are only the red, the green, and the blue, is also rich in information.
It shows that we can re-create all visible colors by modifying relative intensities of these three fundamental colors, a process used in video.
Besides, this spinning-top shows that there is a persistence of images on the retina ; it is a specific process of memorization associated to organs of vision,
a process naturally, which is managed neither by the eyes, nor by brain !
So, these experiments, although extremely simple, reveal that eyes, as the telescopes, the microscopes, the cameras, the optical fibers, …, enable only a physical treatment of the information, preliminary to transcendent activities of interpretation.
They give evidence also that electromagnetic waves are sense's primordial vectors,
and they lead us to reconsider numerous scientific texts, for example :
"The data bank which is represented by DNA can work only if cellular actors are able to recognize of specific regions of the double helix and able of interacting with these regions. In fact, the existence of a system as that of the genetic expression depends on proteins's capacity to recognizing some bounded portions of the DNA molecule, ... and to initiate to their level, the transcription of the adjacent gene ....
The perfect adaptation of one of the most fundamental structures of the proteins to big furrow of the DNA facilitates considerably DNA's recognition by these molecules, because these molecules can so to reach in a intimate way the fundamental sequences of the DNA …,
a protein cannot see really a DNA sequence ; it has to feel it, as a blind reads a text of Braille." (cf. The Long Chain of Coincidence – M. Denton).
Obviously, proteins can not recognize some portions of the DNA, ..., and make.
This faculties are the ones of the creative entity, master of the "sense" who, in every being, uses proteins and has, notably,
- the power to memorize (to code) the genetic patrimony by means of combinations of four nitrogenous molecules : Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine,
- the capacity of integrating these combinations in rigorous chronologies,
- and means to diffuse, constantly, myriads of processes organizations with biologic effects, of processes organizations with behavioral effects, even, with deadly effects, in all organs.
Let’s beware therefore of reductionism and of its inevitable false truths !
