Mauricio Nieto Olarte ofrece un recorrido por los momentos cruciales en la historia de la verdad en Occidente y muestra que lejos de ser una, única e inmutable, la verdad está en permanente proceso de cambio, resultado de complejas prácticas sociales. Por esta razón, la Historia nos puede ayudar a entender por qué ciertas formas de ver y representar la realidad triunfan sobre otras en momentos y lugares específicos. Una historia de la verdad en Occidente es el primer libro escrito en castellano que ofrece un panorama amplio de la historia del conocimiento que pone en evidencia la estrecha relación de la verdad con la filosofía, la religión, las artes y la política. Así, el libro explica la emergencia de una cultura centrada en Europa que proclama posesión de la razón universal y autoridad de control global. (Mauricio Nieto Olarte offers a journey through the crucial moments in the history of truth in the West and shows that far from being one, unique and immutable, truth is in a permanent process of change, the result of complex social practices. For this reason, history can help us understand why certain ways of seeing and representing reality triumph over others at specific times and places. A History of Truth in the West is the first book written in Spanish to offer a broad overview of the history of knowledge that highlights the close relationship between truth and philosophy, religion, the arts and politics. Thus, the book explains the emergence of a culture centered in Europe that proclaims possession of universal reason and global control authority. ) (Contracarátula)
