Abstract

This article provides fi ndings on the status of „truth” in recent academic discourse. Willie van Peer suggests undertaking a critical analysis of some recent debates, using the term „revisionism” for this enterprise. Author elaborates on various methodologies concerning the status of truth: revelatory, formal, and empirical notion of truth, as well as theories rejecting the notion of truth altogether. These considerations lead to the conclusion that the subject of literary studies would profi t considerably from any attempt to increase semantic precision of invoked notions of truth.
