Sorry, I think there is something truly horrible about the notion that what family and social relations do, what living in the real world does, is “corrupt” one’s experience of truth. There’s a good deal of destructive energy in that; it’s recognizable in the Lenin of whom Stalin was the true successor, and in the Mao of the Cultural Revolution, and in all sorts of totalitarian violence. I question whether “truth” which will be “corrupted” by family and social relations is “truth” worth knowing, and frankly it’s horrifying to consider the contempt for other people that implies.
