alethurgy

is, in a barbarous and rough way, to say that what we call knowledge (connaissance) (i.e. The production of truth in the consciousness of individuals by logico-experimental procedures) is only one of the possible forms of alethurgy. Alethurgy.

'this is to say, in a barbarous and rough way, that what we call knowledge (connaissance), that is to say the production of truth in the consciousness of individuals by logico-experimental procedures, is only one of the possible forms of alethargy. Science, objective knowledge, is only one of the possible cases of all these forms by which truth may be manifested.

knowledge

truth-telling

is the manifestation of truth as the set of possible verbal or non-verbal procedures by which one brings to light what is laid down as true as opposed to false, hidden, inexpressible, unforeseeable, or forgotten. There is no exercise of power without something like an alethurgy.

I shall say that the exercise of power is almost always accompanied by a manifestation of truth understood in this very broad sense. And, looking for a word that corresponds, not to the knowledge useful for those who govern, but to that manifestation of truth correlative to the exercise of power, I found one that is not well-established or recognized, since it has hardly been used but once, and then in a different form, by a Greek grammarian of the third or fourth centuries well, the experts will correct me a grammarian called Heraclitus who employs the adjective alethourges for someone who speaks the truth. Alelhourges is the truthful. Consequently, forging the fictional word alethourgia, alethurgy, from alethourges, we could call 'alethurgy' the manifestation of truth as the set of possible verbal or non-verbal procedures by which one brings to light what is laid down as true as opposed to false, hidden, inexpressible, unforeseeable, or forgotten, and say that there is no exercise of power without something like an alethurgy.
