Otherwise our self-interest will affect our perception Since we have seen that truth cannot be established, and perception is subject to the 'self', then truth becomes the confirmation of ideas about the 'I', and the desire for completeness of the 'I'. Truth is the establishment of the self. Interesting.Elaborate on the last line. First of all, all inquiry must begin with the self, a product of perceptions. But perceiving is not stable. New perceptions occur all the time, hence the 'I' is always destabilized. This destabilization necessarily involves the expansion of the 'I', for all things can only make sense within it. So perception, and ordering of perception is supposed to end with the equilibrium of the 'I'. Can't argue with that.How would equilibrium be defined? Perception of security and pleasure. Perception of completeness.
