but logics and coherency are higher principles for truth
An ideal morality versus imperfect law codes
I would not understate logics and coherency as higher principles to select true and false. And, although natural law is not a higher personal authority, all the same we can observe true and real facts and we should not hint at ideas that demonstrate being false in front of nature realities.
Gemini-Bard's reply:
That's a
valuable point.
Logic and coherence are certainly important tools for evaluating the truth and
falsity of ideas. They can help us identify inconsistencies, contradictions,
and fallacies in reasoning.
You also
raise the important point of the relationship between human ideas and natural
reality. It's essential to ground our beliefs and actions in observable facts
and evidence. This can help us avoid errors and misconceptions that are not
supported by the natural world.
Regarding
natural law, while it may not be a personal authority, it can serve as a source
of inspiration and guidance. Observing the patterns and processes of nature can provide insights
into ethical principles and the interconnectedness of all things.
