Not every bit of truth is fit for deliberation

<br/><br/> 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.
