Encountering Reality argues for a new appreciation of T. F.
Torrance on epistemology and reality. According to Torrance's
realism, all authentic knowledge involves the nature of the object
impressing its inherent rationality on the mind. Knowledge involves
thinking in accordance with the nature of the object. The
inescapability of ultimate beliefs in all human knowledge requires
a shift in the traditional notion of objectivity. We find that
shift in the account provided by T. F. Torrance, whose
epistemological position implies an alternative notion of truth.
Drawing on distinctly Christian sources, Torrance emphasizes the
distinction between truth and truthfulness thereby reorienting the
discussion from a focus on statements to a focus on being. This
shift challenges the dichotomy between correspondence and Coherence
theories of truth and provides one way of transcending the
scientific realism/anti-realism debate and gives rise to a
practical epistemological tool, disclosure models, which function
as self-correcting, self-marginalizing lenses through which we
encounter reality, yielding knowledge in accordance to the nature
of the thing known.
