Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The polysemy of the word “truth”, at least in so far as it refers to a value, makes it necessary to specify its many meanings in different fields - scientific, religious, ethical, aesthetic and so on. Applied to the question of truth in a democracy, these distinctions make it possible to argue in favour of a clear separation between scientific truth and civic truth: the only truth that democracy needs is civic (transparency and veracity of information), whereas scientific truth should not concern it any more than democracy should govern scientific activity.

The polysemy of the word “truth”, at least in so far as it refers to a value, makes it necessary to specify its many meanings in different fields - scientific, religious, ethical, aesthetic and so on. Applied to the question of truth in a democracy, these distinctions make it possible to argue in favour of a clear separation between scientific truth and civic truth: the only truth that democracy needs is civic (transparency and veracity of information), whereas scientific truth should not concern it any more than democracy should govern scientific activity.
