Luigi Pareyson Quotes on Truth

Luigi Pareyson, the Italian philosopher of existence and hermeneutics, developed a distinctive account of truth, and the quotes gathered here present it. For Pareyson truth is never grasped in the abstract, apart from the singular person who seeks it: in a formula marked here as attributed, truth is given only in interpretation, and interpretation is the form of truth. Each person, on his view, is a unique interpretation of being, so that the pursuit of truth is inseparable from the irreducible singularity of the one who pursues it. Pareyson subordinated reason itself to truth, holding that the value of reason depends on its connection to truth and its ontological roots. Drawn from Truth and Interpretation and his later Ontology of Freedom, these passages present truth as something disclosed only in the act of interpretation.
