Is politics truth?
Vera vocabula rerum amisimus

CIRST—Interuniversity Center
of Research Studies on Tradition
The forgery dominates social life through the "seductive" or even "advertising" word: from the political word to that in the service of profit that manipulates law and science with devastating effects on its "neutrality". What precludes access to the truth is power, in one or other of its articulations. It does not deny, but protects itself by offering apparent truths: the "false truth". But never before have we felt the need for transparency and to affirm the right to the truth against forgery, the right to be protected in our need for mutual public recognition. This study day intends to question the false truth that dominates our world, polluted by fake news and clichés and their dangerous demagogic tendencies.
This is the first international conference on antiquarian political science, not surprisingly proposed by the Interuniversity Center for Studies on Tradition (CIRST), because it involves experts from different branches and historical periods, some of whom are already protagonists, on these topics, of the second edition of the Festival of the classic that took place in Turin last October, entitled The truth will make us free, and which, organized by the Turin Readers' Circle Foundation, also made use of the collaboration of CIRST. We also note the fertile dialogue with the world of schools, which, a central objective in the activities of CIRST, was also activated on the occasion of this initiative.
