Rudnev V.P. The Problem of Truth and False in the Narrative Ontology

Abstract: Narrative ontology is the philosophical concept the author of the article has been developing for many years. The main idea is that truth and false are considered to be illusory and replaced with the questions 'What will happen?' and 'Where is all this going to?'. Neverthetheless, the search for truth is also quite an obvious issue for narrative ontology and truth is viewed as the truth in a fictional discourse, the truth in an everyday expression, the Truth starting with the capital letter 'T', and the truth starting with the small letter 't'. In this research Rudnev also introduces his concept of the 'collapse into the truth' when a person falls into the illusion of the truth as if it were a well. The scientific novelty of the present research is caused by the fact that for the first time in the academic science Rudnev creats a new model of reality based on the ideas of narrative logic and the theory of meaning. Technically, this model is based on the mebius strip which the author thinks to be simultaneously moving in two opposite directions, i.e. towards accumulation of information ('along the life path') and accumulation of entropy ('against the life path'). In this research Rudnev has used the methods of everyday language philosophy developed by Moore, Wittgenstein, Austin and other analytical philosophers. The main conclusions of the present research are the following: 1. Truth and false are illusionary concepts created by our mind, in fact, we exist in the two parallel worlds of truth and false. 2. Narrative ontology is based on the main postulate that the meaning can be found on the mebius strip simultaneously unfolding in the opposite directions. 3. The problem of 'living against the life path' means that we live in the two opposite directions of time, towards accumulation of entropy and accumulation of information.
