Description:

The central questions of this text are "what is truth?" and "why do we value truth so highly?" Predrag Cicovacki approaches them not as isolated questions but as being closely related to what Kant considered to be the ultimate philosophical concern - what is means to be a human being.

Synopsis:

Truth, Cicovacki says, presupposes neither a dominance of subject or object, but their dynamic and reciprocal interactive relation. The absence of proper interactions leads to various forms of self-projections or illusions. Truth, by contract, exists in a harmonious interaction between its subjective and objective elements. Cicovacki thus locates the value of truth between traditional absolutist claims and contemporary relativism.
