Truth is an Antinomy

Creation is born and dies, but truth is immortal, it is above arguments and contradiction. It must be fulfilled only under the condition that “we follow universality, antiquity, and consensus”. But how is it possible to construct the unconditional formula of Divine Truth from the conditional material of the human mind?  If knowledge is given in the form of certain judgments, i.e. as the synthesis of S and P, or of another S and another P, or even of S with not-P, then it follows that every judgment is contradictory, it can encounter an objection to itself.

Come, O purple of the great king our God! Come, O crystalline cincture, studded with precious stones! Come, O inaccessible sandal! Come, O ...
