Truthology

The study of truth using Sovietology/Kremlinology methods: analyzing how truth claims are produced, authorized, and contested in different social arenas. Truthology treats truth not as a correspondence between propositions and the world, but as an institutional accomplishment—something that is made, maintained, and sometimes unmade. It examines the social practices (cross‑examination, peer review, replication) that stabilize truth, the power relations that authorize truth‑tellers, and the ways that “truth” is used to close down dissent. Truthology does not deny that truth exists; it asks how truth works in practice.

Example: “Her truthology research examined how courtroom truth differs from scientific truth from journalistic truth—each a different social practice with its own rituals, authorities, and standards.”

Hard Problem of Theology

The Problem of Particularity: If there is an infinite, omnipotent, omnibenevolent God (or gods), why is the evidence for its existence and nature so ambiguous, culturally specific, and historically contingent? Why would such a being choose to reveal itself through ancient texts, personal feelings, and contested miracles—modes that look indistinguishable from human invention and psychological projection—rather than in a universally obvious, unchanging, and unambiguous way? The hard problem is reconciling the hypothesized nature of God with the messy, obscure, and often contradictory nature of the alleged evidence.

*Example: An all-powerful God desires a loving relationship with all humanity. The hard problem asks: Why is the primary method a 2000-year-old book, requiring translation, interpretation, and faith, which leads to thousands of conflicting denominations? Why not a continuous, direct, and clear communication to every person in a way that transcends culture and language? The obscurity and conflict surrounding divine revelation seem more characteristic of limited human cultural processes than of an infinite being with a clear message. The ambiguity itself becomes the central theological puzzle.* Hard Problem of Theology.
