The present article explores the concept of truth from the philosophical perspective of Gilles Deleuze, emphasizing its intrinsically social nature. It examines how knowledge is invariably mediated by the social, focusing on three fundamental dimensions: interconnection, difference, and the socio-historical conditions underlying scientific progress. The discussion centers on the intersection of science, truth, and nihilism, addressing the challenges that confront the construction of truth in the contemporary context. It also highlights certain epistemological limits, the possibility of engaging with truth, and the paradox of nihilism—understood not as the destruction of meaning, but as the opening of new possibilities for truth and knowledge. Ultimately, the article argues that the advancement of knowledge is inseparably tied to the specific contexts in which it emerges. The methodology employed combines philosophical analysis and hermeneutics, grounded in a close reading of Deleuzian texts. The objective is to interpret their relevance and applicability in contemporary settings, emphasizing the interrelations between the social and the epistemological.
