Philosopher Darío Sztajnszrajber discusses the nature of truth

Philosopher Darío Sztajnszrajber discusses the evolving definition of philosophy and the concept of truth. He notes that the traditional pursuit of absolute certainty conflicts with contemporary philosophical currents that suggest the ultimate truth is that there is no truth.

Sztajnszrajber distinguishes between different types of truth: everyday truth, scientific truth, and philosophical truth. He explains that everyday and scientific truths focus on the ‘how’ to ensure the functional operation of daily life, whereas philosophical truth seeks a more ontological or existential meaning. Referencing Friedrich Nietzsche, he highlights the idea that ‘there are no facts, only interpretations.’

Regarding happiness, the philosopher rejects modern social media formulas for personal success, instead pointing toward Epicurus’s concept of ataraxia.
