Between Truth and Illusion Kant at the

Truth, Cicovacki says, presupposes neither a dominance of subject or object, but their dynamic and reciprocal interactive relation. The absence of proper interactions leads to various forms of self-projections or illusions. Truth, by contract, exists in a harmonious interaction between its subjective and objective elements. Cicovacki thus locates the value of truth between traditional absolutist claims and contemporary relativism.

Predrag Cicovacki is director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at the College of the Holy Cross and editor-in-chief of Diotima: A Philosophical Review
