Which conception of truth is appropriate in politics?

Which Conception of Truth Is Appropriate in Politics? The paper ”Which Conception of Truth Is Appropriate in Politics?” is focused on the problem of the possibility of finding truth in the field of politics, having in mind the fact that politics is closely related to such concept as freedom or goodness that are not empirical. This problem is being solved mostly referring to ideas of Immanuel Kant and Ronald Dworkin, who is understood as the follower of the tradition of Kantian practical philosophy. R. Dworkin adopts Kant‘s understanding of ethics and develops that way of thinking bringing the same type of attitude to other fields that could be understood as such that belongs to the field of the practical reason. In this work the approach that politics and scientific truth do not have anything in common is held. The main purpose of this paper is finding the conception of truth that allows searching for objective truth in politics, having in mind the contemporary condition of knowledge that is based on intersubjectivity. The main purpose is divided into smaller intermediate steps of analysis. In order to achieve the main goal of this work, firstly it is shown that ethics is an independent domain of knowledge. The efforts to explain ethics stepping out of the field that is analyzed are shown as being contradictory and self-denying. Accordingly, having in mind the fact that both domains on practical reason – ethics and politics – are closely related to freedom of the individual, there is no possibility to understand and explain those fields in terms of scientific reasoning. Moreover, the principle of responsibility of individual is shown as the only way to maintain the possibility of finding truth in politics, because scientific methods are not capable of explaining the processes going in that field. This kind of personal responsibility is understood as the way in which the individual may achieve freedom in society based on technological knowledge. It is shown that contemporary paradigm of scientific knowledge provides understanding that any true knowledge is intersubjective because any possible knowledge is technical. Although, this way of thinking ignores the fact that this type of cognition is not necessarily appropriate in all the fields of knowledge. In this paper it is stated that even though scientific knowledge cannot provide the possibility of knowing the truth in politics, in the field of politics, as well as in ethics, exist the alternative conception of truth. The coherence theory of truth could be understood as alternative that was necessary
