"All I know is that I know nothing" Socrates
Here Socrates actually says one truth and that is that he knows nothing. I didn't know that until I read this chapter, which is actually confusing. But after you analyze the different "fields truth" you realize that as the term says, there are different types of truths.
Savater is right when he talks about skepticism, relativism and revelations. This are different types of truths. Like Ortega said that about ideas and beliefs that are very different things. Ideas are something we get by experience and knowledge and beliefs are our personal truths. I have to agree with this, first because this guy is a philosopher and second because he is saying the truth.
All I have to say is that after reading this chapter I can't agree with all things, but the're are a lot of reasonable statements that he makes.
