Establish the value of truth in the following statement

Question

Some animals can do mathematical operations

Answer 1

Well,

That's one way to phrase a question. Value and Truth come from separate but important branches of philosophy. Value finds its home in Ethics and Truth in Epistemology and in some part Logic. Both defining what Value in this question "[What is] the value of truth..." and defining what truth is at the same time can be quite challenging.

Some animals can do mathematical operations. Let's start with truth, is this statement false? (If we are suing Classic Logic, it is not false and it can be falsified, and therefore it is true.) Personally, what value does the truth of this statement have well anywhere between zero and infinite.

If first we all agree that the underlying statement has empirical continuity between everyone who is part of the statement sender and receiver, then we continue to agree that the statement serves as true to everyone in the epistemological sense, then we can establish value of its truth, in a moral sense.

And here is where you stop. How can value such a thing as the truth of a statement in a Moral Sense? Setting every circumstance available in a closed looped interaction system. Therefore not one specific value can be found as the circumstance can be infinite, as well as no circumstance which then there is no value, like how the statement is written above this answer.

Hope this clears up something....
