Sartre's Thoughts On Knowledge

"Man is defined by what he can know." As earlier philosophers recognized, truth is a relationship between consciousness and being: "Truth is the being-as-it-is of a being for an absolute subject." For Sartre, truth is the "progressive disclosure of Being." He writes, "Truth is subjective. The truth of an age is its meaning, its climate, ECT, to the extent that they are lived as the discovery of Being."
