POSADA RAMIREZ, Jorge Gregorio; DIAZ, Pedro Felipe  e  AGUIRRE GARCIA, Juan Carlos. Dependency of Truth on Passions. anagramas rumbos sentidos comun. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.23, pp.159-173. ISSN 1692-2522.

One of the permanent challenges of social sciences -philosophy, specifically- are the questions about the man's beliefs and what he should really believe. Although a significant portion of social sciences could be read based on these two questions, they are more extensively treated in the field of philosophy, especially concerning their relationship with the concept of truth. From the epistemology standpoint, it has been affirmed that we should grow concerning truthfulness and two theories involving common places of the truth are exposed: correspondence theory and coherence theory. This article is intended to show that, in social life, neither correspondent version nor coherence version are sufficiently binding as to make people believe in what they should really believe according to the epistemology standards. It is concluded that the human interest to accept and apprehend the truth in order to establish what one should believe, involves a need for a cultivation of the will. In this way, it has been affirmed that the truth, in conjunction with the belief, involves both reason and passion.
