Abstract

The expression veritas vitae or «truth of life» means, in the writings of Thomas Aquinas, the realization of each person's life according to the plan of the Creator. A study of the texts shows that the syntagma veritas vitae belongs to the so-called «three-fold truth» (veritas doctrinae, vitae, iustitiae) and is of a deeper kind than the virtue of truthfulness. For contemporary philosophers, the relationship between truthfulness and «truth of life» opens up an avenue for dialogue regarding the topic of authenticity.
