A note on truth and fiction

Abstract

If today the perception that we inhabit a hollow reality dominates, it is largely due to the existing gap between the historical “effective reality” (Wirklichkeit) and the “static reality” (Realität). The latter has no capacity to legitimize or give meaning to the facts. If we are beset by forms of unreality, this seems to be a symptom of being on the threshold of an epoch, a moment in which what we consider to be real is shaken and is an opportunity to recognize another reality than a metropolized metaverse.
