But still curious about the difference between both of them In our daily life, in general conversation, we generally use these both terms interchangeably Then what is the difference Are they synonym or have specific difference? The first two paragraphs are talking about not necessarily needing to know truth, but the latter two imply that for achieving goals or empowering us to do so, understanding of how the world works (=discovering the truth about the world) is essential. Finding truths is definitely possible, finding important truths harder
I came across this philosophical thought All truths are relative, and this is the only absolute principle Anyway a radical relativism poses a serious problem If every truth is always relative, is the latter an absol. For the philosopher, the truth must be a surprisingly intractable concept Truth has been called subjective, relative and plural
Any concept one considers to be true (which is not the same as a truth) is a belief. Hence truth is a relation between a proposition, a sentence from language, and a fact, a component of the real world This kind of truth bears no relation to logic Whether a single proposition is true or not, cannot be decided by logic As an example take the proposition on 1.1.2016 it rained in manhattan.
