Of course there is. Only a philosopher would be daft enough to doubt it.

I would agree.

I would agree.

The issue here is rather how do you determine truth. If you can't that there might be truth is effectively irrelevant for the how we progress. And I would suggest that it the idea that science is still part of a biased decision is what Kuhn argues. What do you see is just stating there is truth makes a difference to how you might determine what is truth?
