Truth does not make you free | Critical comparison between Matteo Corrias and Mauro Biglino.
Mauro Biglino and Gian Matteo Corrias address a profound and complex issue: the search for historical truth. Gian Matteo Corrias introduces a reflection on the nature of historical research and its intrinsic value, quite distinct in his opinion from the search for absolute and objective truth.
Scholars lead us through a fascinating discussion that explores how historical truth is not necessarily aimed at achieving a universal truth, but is valuable as a speculative and intellectual activity. They discuss historical epistemology and the sharp distinction between logical-mathematical truth and historical truth, with references to great thinkers such as Spinoza, Umberto Eco and St. Augustine.
One of the key points of the video is the idea that objective truth does not set us free, but rather pins us down to certainties, contrasting with the famous Gospel statement "The truth will set you free."
In addition, the roots of theology, from the Bible of the Septuagint to Pauline theology, and how these have shaped Western thought are explored. It emphasizes how theology, despite its constraints, represents an extremely fascinating field of study with great intellectual dignity.
