I interpret it as follows: it is not statement mainly about the fact that its content – what is considered to be true – has changed. This has been changing many times, depending on time and place. What has changed is the truth itself; what (and why) is considered true; by what means truth spreads and reproduces. So I am less interested in what the Truth is - in itself, in its essence (especially that it seems to be historically changeable) - or (making distinction) what are those different truths (modern or not; that what is currently true or considered as such). I am going to focus here on this very resolution: how Truth was (re-)constructed, how one discovers/constructs truths and what conditions they must fulfill according to given Truth. It is a two-part text, and this is first part.","PeriodicalId":312956,"journal":{"name":"Humaniora.

No matter how much they focus on the dynamics of changes in the human world, the criterion of their credibility is whether they can use reporting knowledge to predict the future. To pay off their debt, these sciences are looking for a tool that allows them, if not discovering the truth, then at least (gradually) approaching it. This task has two difficulties. First of all, what is the truth understood as the final product of science. Secondly, by what method its representatives can seek the truth about what cultural reality is? What form does it take in our time? This article is devoted to these considerations.","PeriodicalId":312956,"journal":{"name":"Humaniora.

In the first part I analyzed the foundations or the birth itself (the Thales’ discovery – Serres, the ancient myth of the machine – Mumford) of a certain way of producing truths or conditions for recognizing something as true (the Truth). Here, in the second part, I show the discovery of how this Truth works and its development (the Descartes’ discovery, the modern myth of the machine), and thus a significant increase in the ability to produce truths. Continuing recognition made in the first part that – the figure of the essence of technology can be identified with figure of the Truth in this text and that its essence has been a ge-stell – I indicate martingale (Serres) and the myth of balance (Mumford) as ge-stell counterparts.

Considering the ever accelerating process of technicisation of culture, human sciences need to readjust and rename the way they influence contemporary society. It is necessary for them to acknowledge the needs of the late post industrial era with all its implications towards philosophical theory. That would mean expanding the spectrum of skills offered by classical humanistic education and remodeling it into the concept of Self design, proposed by the author (Dasein as design). The author draws from the late modernity’s commentators’ and researchers’ critiques in order to diagnose the crisis of the humanities and to develop ideas of his own, that could help to modernize this discipline of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":312956,"journal":{"name":"Humaniora.
