Truth-telling
What is the nature of truth? What is the nature of truth-telling? What is the relation between the two? We look closely at arguments concerning truth, truth-telling and falsehood, and why these matter now, especially in the context of history, recollection, reconstruction, reconciliation and healing. We also look at the importance of these in personal and interpersonal, local, national and global contexts.
