Darío Sztajnszrajber discusses the nature of philosophical truth

Philosopher Darío Sztajnszrajber discusses the evolution of philosophical inquiry and the tension between traditional searches for absolute truth and contemporary perspectives. He notes that while everyday and scientific truths focus on functionality and the ‘how’ of things to ensure daily life operates smoothly, philosophical truth often seeks a more ontological or existential meaning.

Referencing Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept that ‘there are no facts, only interpretations,’ Sztajnszrajber explores the paradox where some modern philosophical currents suggest that the ultimate truth is that no absolute truth exists. Additionally, he addresses the concept of happiness, rejecting modern social media formulas for personal success in favor of Epicurus’s concept of ataraxia.
