On the Denial of Truth

Answering the comment "is the statement 'there is no truth' true?"

This video is not an argument in itself, it simply is a way to open to debate to those who thought that a statement of denial of truth was automatically a denial of itself.

It also opens the way to some approaches that I would argue make impossible correlations between reality and statements.

Here's Kant's passage:

Truth is said to consist in the agreement of knowledge with the object. According to this mere verbal definition, then, my knowledge, in order to be true, must agree with the object. Now, I can only compare the object with my knowledge by this means, namely, by taking knowledge of it. My knowledge, then, is to be verified by itself, which is far from being sufficient for truth. For as the object is external to me, and the knowledge is in me, I can only judge whether my knowledge of the object agrees with my knowledge of the object.

No, I'm reading from what I wrote myself on the subject, because I am not very good to speak in English.
