Las víctimas ante el precipicio de la verdad: una cuestión de justicia tras el debilitamiento de Gianni Vattimo

The victims in front of the abyss of truth: a question of justice after the weakening of Gianni Vattimo

The 21stcentury opens the post-Truth era as a visual spectacle that favors appearances above everything else. But in a schizophrenic way, the social acceptance of the lie directly clashes with the continued idealization of the Truth as an objective mirror of the facts, which continues to be the regulatory road map of the West and its Eurocentrism. The victims seem thus to be trapped in between the precipice of the objectifying mirror and the abyss of the spectacularized post-Truth, two forms of absolutization of the Truth swinging from one the wills to powers of interest. This article starts from this contemporary paradoxical bipolarity, in order to, through the epistemic weakening of the Truth proposed by the philosopher Gianni Vattimo, address the question of dignity and justice of the victims. The epistemic weakening of the Truth that Vattimo raises effectively opens the possibilities for a democratic transformation, but nothing guarantees what or who will take advantage of that debolist opening. In order to be transformative, Truth ceases to be absolute, even to claim it, but it cannot lose the reference of criteria that inhabit worthy human lives as a corporal source.... view less

El siglo XXI inaugura la era de la post-Verdadcomoespectáculo visual que favorece las apariencias por encima de todo lo demás. Pero de forma esquizofrénica, la aceptación social de la mentira choca frontalmente con la mantenida idealización de la Verdad como espejo objetivo de los hechos, que continúa siendo la hoja de ruta regulatoria de Occidente y su eurocentrismo. Las víctimas parecen quedar así atrapadas así entre el precipicio del espejo objetivante y el abismo de la post-Verdad espectacularizada, dos formas de absolutización de la Verdad al vaivén de las voluntades e intereses de poder. Este artículo parte de esta bipolaridad paradójica contemporánea, para, a través del debilitamiento epistémico de la Verdad propuesto porel filósofo Gianni Vattimo, atajar la cuestión de dignidad y la justicia de las víctimas.La debilitación epistémica de la Verdad que plantea Vattimo abre efectivamente las posibilidades para una transformación democrática, pero nada garantiza qué ni quiénes vayan a sacar partido de esa apertura debolista. Para ser transformadora, la Verdad deja de ser absoluta, incluso de pretenderlo, pero sin perder por ello la referencia de criterios que habitan las vidas humanas dignas como fuente corporal.... view less
