ABSTRACT
I believe too much in truth not to suppose that there are different truths and different ways of speaking the truth…we can demand of those who govern us a certain truth as to their ultimate aims, the general choices of their tactics, and a number of particular points in their programs: this is the parrhesia (free speech) of the governed, who can and must question those who govern them in the name of the knowledge, the experience they have, of what those who govern do.
