The main task of this work is not to determine the bases for a moral
evaluation of the lie; neither is it to describe its negative qualification. We
are interested rather in the very problemate of the truth and the lie
itself, considered as a juxtaposition of two of its notions: the truth and the lie,
one that aims to provide a positive – as it would seem obvious – answer to
the question contained in the title of the present work:
Does the lie contradict the truth
