This text addresses the perennial philosophical conflict between the flux of history and the immutability of truth. While antiquity sought truth in what is permanent and eternal, modernity increasingly departs from this notion. The author criticizes the conception of truth as abstract and detached from specific situations, arguing that such truth lacks binding force and practical significance. It is emphasized that truth must be relevant to the given moment and situation to retain its full validity. Furthermore, the text highlights the dangers of an unclear conception of truth in political thought, which can lead to illusions and fatal consequences. It examines the relationship of the citizen and the politician to history and truth, concluding that while a citizen can afford to wait for definitive judgment, a politician is compelled to decide and act even in uncertain circumstances to fulfill their role.
