The category “Truth” is one of the philosopher Richard Rorty’s interests. It can be related to Freud’s “psychic reality”, a key category in psychoanalytic formulation. In both authors, there is a conception of deflated truth. They refuse the existence of an absolute and objective truth, endowed with a hidden essence to be revealed, according to the cartesian model; otherwise, they assume the argument that truth is a construction (Freud), a linguistic entity (Rorty). For both, there is no possibility to the language being to reach to the real world: his experience is mediated by language. Rorty leaves the concept of "intrinsic nature" of human being, exploring the contingency of language. Freud problematizes the issue of reality, in the tenuous border between material and psychic reality, this one pointing to subject’s truth. In this sense, there is no revealed truth from the outside, but subject’s truth in his idiosyncratic dimension.
