an essay on: there is an exception to every rule.
Answers
Hey Mate!!
Here's your answer.
There is a big problem with some sayings that seem perfectly logical. Let’s look at this common example: There is an exception to every rule. Most people would just start thinking of all the rules they can recall to see if it is true, and then ultimately decide it probably is as there is no way for them to know every rule out there. But really they have no way of knowing whether it is true or not. Sounds good, but it isn’t.
To disprove the idea that there is always an exception to every rule we only need to find one rule which has no exceptions. As it happens there is a rule that supposedly has no exceptions, hiding in the statement itself.
If all rules have exceptions then even the rule that states that all rules have exceptions must have an exception, or the rule is proven false. But if it does have an exception the rule is also proven false, because then there is a rule without an exception, which is what the rule is saying cannot exist. In fact, it is a rule that is self annihilating.
Hence the statement that all rules have an exception must be false.
What would be more to the point would be to say that we can find exceptions to almost any rule, or something to that effect. It has a much higher probability of being true. We certainly know that a lot of rules have exceptions, don’t we? Well maybe not. But we will get back to that.
Now what about the idea there are no absolutes? Sounds like it suffers from the same problem in logic that assuming all rules have exceptions suffers from. Is saying there are no absolutes an absolute statement? Is it a rule? Is it a fact? Can it be proven?
On the contrary. What can be argued very effectively is that absolute truth can be found, and we find it all the time. For one thing we can find it through what has become badly misunderstood: Relative truth. Relative truth is, as the phrase implies, relative to something. In this case I am saying it is relative to objective conditions, not subjective perspective.
Truth is usually dependent on a set of conditions. If I turn my tap on today and get water, I must get water from my tap next time I turn it on, unless one or more of the conditions of the system has changed. Once conditions have changed there is new truth that emerges concerning those new conditions.
I hope it helps.
Please mark me the brainiest.
I am happy to help you
