The central questions of this text are "what is truth?" and "why do we value truth so highly?" Predrag Cicovacki approaches them not as isolated questions but as being closely related to what Kant considered to be the ultimate philosophical concern - what is means to be a human being.
In Between Truth and Illusion, Predrag Cicovacki carefully analyzes Kant''s contribution to discussions of human being and finds that he was deeply involved in the systematic development of the modern anthropocentric orientation toward liberation and dominance of the subject. On the other hands, modernity''s high ideal of universal scientific and moral progress turned out to be illusory and ill-conceived. Cicovacki focuses on Kant''s important observations about the limitations of the modernist project and develops an interactive conception of truth from it. Truth, the author says, presupposes a dominance of neither subject nor object, but their dynamic and reciprocal interactive relation. The absence of proper interactions leads to various forms of self-projections or illusions.
