According to Epimenides the Cretan (7th Century B.C.E), whose famous paradox was refuted rationally only after the 14th Century, truth is a divine revelation which we 'possess' (aletheia). Following him, Western philosophy (Aristotle, Aquinas) tended to present it as a correspondence (adaequatio) between the thing and the mind. While certain moderns (Descartes, Leibniz) transformed this substantialist relationship into a more functionalist conception, Diderot goes further in the same direction. The position that he defends claims that truth is realised in a diachronic process of the construction of meaning. This original and fertile point of view is clarified by an analysis of the Interpretation de la nature, followed by a study of the occurrences of truth and true in Le Neveu de Rameau.
