Michel Foucault

Simplified Meaning:

Truth is like something that is shaped by many different forces in the real world. For instance, if you think about how a diamond is formed, it takes a lot of pressure and heat over a long period. Similarly, what we often call "truth" comes from many influences and conditions working together. It’s not just something that exists by itself; it’s shaped by the people, events, and factors around us. Imagine a judge trying to solve a case. They can't decide what's true based on one piece of evidence alone. They listen to multiple witnesses, consider different pieces of evidence, and follow the rules of the law. Only by piecing together all this information can they come to a fair judgement. In our everyday lives, understanding what is true often requires looking at things from several angles, taking into account various facts and perspectives. So, whenever you’re trying to figure out what's true, remember that it usually takes more than just a single viewpoint; it’s a result of many different aspects coming together.
