Beyond Truth-Telling: Embodying and Dwelling in Truth and Hope
Original language description
This paper seeks to argue that truth is not something that relates to telling/speaking only. Its main aim is to show that in their quest for communion withGod, other human beings - and one should add - the entire creation, humans needto go beyond truth-telling toward the ways of embodying and dwelling in truth andhope. To introduce its argument, the paper proceeds in the following steps. First,it expounds a Christian perspective on truth, employing notions such as sacrament, desire, and relationality. Through the image of communion with God, a linkbetween truth-telling and hope is outlined. Second, it tries to show that truth-telling is not only an affective but also an existential category. As such, it involves thewhole of human being. Therefore, it makes sense to turn to the concept of bodyand embodiment when reflecting on the human pursuits of truth. The paper then,third, examines various constellations of this central claim by exploring a specificcase from popular culture, namely, 'Crocodile', an episode from the Netflix series,Black Mirror. In particular, a proposal is made for the significance of embodyingand dwelling in truth for Christian theology and practice. Finally, in the last step,this embodying and dwelling is given more concrete contours with respect to hopeby probing into the images of home and feast.
