Philosophy - a rationalization of the unknowable in terms that are unknown.
What we call truth are properly speaking patterns of regularity - we get no privileged access to what we don’t already have.
It remains impossible to know how much we know, for that would already presuppose that we knew what truth in relation to itself is, which is precisely what we don’t know.
We cannot know what truth-in-itself is (or speak coherently about it) but what truth is to us must be given perspectivally. But the presumption of our ability to approach objective truth is dependent on the consistency of truth in relation to itself (which is the best we can do) with truth in relation to us.
This has nothing to do with truth-in-itself.
