Abstract
“We know now that art is not the truth. Art is a lie which allows us to come closer to the truth, or at least one that is recognizable to us.”1 Is it possible to find a more suggestive contradiction than that between Pablo Picasso’s words above and Husserl’s aspiration for the absolute truth whose criterion was supposed to be apodictic obviousness? Still, did not Husserl himself write:
if one likes paradoxes it is possible really to say, especially if one comprehends the multiple meaning well, it is then possible to say in accordance with the truth that “fiction” is a source of phenomenology as well as of any eidetic discipline, that “fiction” is a source from which cognition of “eternal truths” stems.2
