QQC #2

"Those of us charting historical maps know that we cannot tell the "truth," that no one map can ever tell the truth, that our traditional foundations are shaky, that maps are neither stable nor coherent, and that the notion of capturing any "reality" rings of empiricism, positivism, and naivete. Yet we cannot completely separate ourselves from writing or from reading these histories, these stories." Assuming that truth can't be absolute, does the impossibility of finalizing that truth make the search for it obsolete? Are there benefits to pursuing something that can't be manifested?
