The discussion of the contemporary philosophical alternatives for coping with the current crisis of truth as well as the investigation of the nature of truth in general have clearly shown that the crisis of human truth cannot be overcome by theoretical conception or methodological constitution of whatever kind because this crisis is natural, i.e., takes its origin in man's very nature as a historical and controversial being. The attempt at overcoming the crisis on the part of any of the contemporary philosophical visions of truth must therefore he dismissed as a shot into the dark. It is from this attempt that their claim to absoluteness and their dogmatic character must be explained. The conception in an absolute manner of whatever kind of logos, the scientific, historical, philosophical or theological kind, can never set man free and make possible for him an authentic or ethical existence, but will, on the contrary, put him in new chains. Such theoretical conception can never heal the crisis, but, on the contrary, only aggravates it, and it is in its aggravated form that we are experiencing it to-day.
