I would say most modern philosophers shy away from defining truth, beauty or other broad abstracts like freedom, love etc. Wittgenstein famously said it's better to shut up than spin a lot of words that simply end up a tower of Babel.
Best, philosophically, to concentrate on things words can handle.
And as for the Allambra, the world is full of modern wonders, I am typing on one right now.
