What is truth?

If you take a materialist philosophical view, maybe you can arrive at some kind of understanding of the universe through the scientific method.

If you have other views things get far more complicated.

I’m a materialist atheist btw but delving into philosophy makes me less certain we can ever arrive at ‘truth’.
