Darío Sztajnszrajber discusses philosophy and the nature of truth

Philosopher Darío Sztajnszrajber discussed the nature of truth and the role of philosophy in contemporary life. He distinguished between everyday truths, which focus on functional and scientific mechanics, and ontological truths, which seek existential meaning.

Reflecting on Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept that “there are no facts, only interpretations,” Sztajnszrajber noted how modern philosophy often grapples with the idea that truth may not exist in an absolute sense. He also addressed the phenomenon of post-truth, where individuals often prioritize information that validates existing prejudices over verifiable facts.

Sztajnszrajber argued that philosophy serves as a tool to question the modern logic of utility and productivity. By distancing oneself from the constant demand for performance and social expectations, individuals can achieve a higher form of freedom through critical thought.
