Quote - Truth, Understanding, and Experience - Lakoff & Johnson

"From the experientialist perspective, truth depends on understanding, which emerges from functioning in the world. It is through such understanding that the experientialist alternative meets the objectivist's need for an account of truth. It is through the coherent structuring of experience that the experientialist alternative satisfies the subjectivist's need for personal meaning and significance." - Lakoff and Johnson, 1980
