I considered "defend," but the Germans wouldn't put something that controversial on a public street sign. I think "answer for" works for its transparency as well as getting some of the sense of "defend" that verantworten carries. "Epistemology" is not an exact translation for "Wahrheitsbewußtsein" (that would be Erkenntnistheorie). But epistemology is concerned with how human beings are conscious of the truth. Given the context, I think "epistemology" suits and sounds like fluent English in a way that "conception of truth" doesn't.Celianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241950500211730661.post-14366396566728332562009-10-11T22:07:01.182-04:002009-10-11T22:07:01.182-04:00Rudolf Bultmann Street: All this sign signifies is...Rudolf Bultmann Street: All this sign signifies is that it is a sign.Maxim Cardewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057766247624843677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241950500211730661.post-22523842289908266842009-10-11T16:50:09.678-04:002009-10-11T16:50:09.678-04:00It would be anti-climactic.It would be anti-climactic.Nathan Eubankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930202683520173941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241950500211730661.post-19495405850025185692009-10-11T16:45:20.679-04:002009-10-11T16:45:20.679-04:00Why don't you take a shot Nathan?

Disclaimer: We are in..."Rudolf Bultmann"<br /><br />Disclaimer: We are in the process of replacing this sign so that the street name will be less offensive and readily comport with the street that you already think you are on. For an alternate route, you can put your car in reverse and take a right on the bumpy gravel road named "History".Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01072191456699372239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241950500211730661.post-33085639192519177722009-10-11T12:14:28.439-04:002009-10-11T12:14:28.439-04:00I think I like this last one.
