This lecture delves into the question of logos and truth in history, building upon Hegel's concept of reason in history. It discusses the necessity of transitioning from logos to truth and examines how logos applies in the realm of 'untrue' events, such as historical occurrences. The author introduces new philosophical disciplines: philosophical physics (or physiology) for studying true beings, and philosophical logology for examining the organization of thought through concepts. The lecture further addresses the problematic of the organic understanding of societies as a prejudice that hinders the correct comprehension of the question of truth in history. Heidegger's assertion that truth transcends the possibilities of logic is questioned, arguing that if logic is restored as a philosophical discipline, it can engage with truth. In conclusion, the author touches upon the specific Czech tradition of the concept of truth, 'Truth prevails' ('Pravda vítězí'), and suggests the need to explore this non-Greek root of thought, which has a European and global perspective.
