A Comparative View of Truth

Sara Klimes

E-LOGOS, 2006, vol. 2006, issue 1, 4 pages

Abstract: The ancient Greeks debated its significance, the enlightenment period doubted its existence, and twentieth-century political parties manipulated its definition; throughout the centuries the notion of 'truth' has remained consistent in its ability to interest intellectuals. Plato, René Descartes and Václav Havel at first glance may appear to have little in common, however, their interest in inner truth is a tread tying them together.
