Wahrheit ist die Erfindung eines Lügners

How real is reality? Are our worldviews merely inventions, or do they correspond to an external reality? Is the recognition of truth possible? These are the questions that physicist and philosopher Heinz von Foerster and journalist Bernhard Pörksen debate in their conversations. Together, they explore the limits of our capacity for knowledge, discuss the apparent objectivity of our sensory perception, the consequences of truth terrorism, and the relationship between knowledge and ethics, perception and insight. In doing so, a way of thinking emerges that shuns fixation and rejects a single, eternally valid answer. Time and again, these dialogues, articulated with a light touch, revolve around the inner connection between a fascinating scientific work and an unusual and exciting life.
