摘要

The text begins by examining the significance of the discussion about truth and its justification, raising three central questions: Does truth exist at all? What are the objective criteria for truth? Can we recognize truth? It emphasizes that even the belief that there is no objective truth implicitly presupposes the existence of such. The text argues that without the claim to objective truth, any argumentation loses its foundation, and highlights that modern and postmodern philosophy often resorts to pragmatic, subjective certainties and social discourses. Despite the departure from the question of absolute truth, the question itself paradoxically remains a unifying vanishing point for the highly heterogeneous approaches of modern philosophical currents.
