From truth to error, to imagination or the imaginary, from authenticity to imitation, from reality to illusion or utopia, from the original to the copy, from true to false, to pretense, to fiction, to the likely, to the deceitful, and again from autopsy, from evidence, from proof to tradition or the vulgate, a wide range of words, discourses, and practices unfolds. We will call them programs or regimes of truth, implicit or explicit, which only a historical analysis can make manifest in their foundations, their functioning and their variations within precise spatio-temporal contexts. The book invites specialists from all disciplines of the sciences of Antiquity to explore the way in which the Greeks, the Romans, but more generally all ancient civilizations, marked out the in-between, vast, ramified and winding, which goes from true to false.
