‘Meditations on Truth’ by Fray Felicísimo Martínez, OP, is published

‘Meditations on Truth’ is the title of the latest book by Fray Felicísimo Martínez Díez, OP, published on 12 March 2025. In this work, Brother Felicísimo offers a series of meditations on truth and addresses his search for it in specific areas of life, proposing the figure of St Thomas Aquinas as a reference point for the defence of truth and as an example that serves as inspiration to believers and non-believers alike.

‘In an age dominated by ‘post-truth’, relativism and political correctness, the search for truth has become an aspiration that arouses contempt and even mistrust. With the intention of inviting us to fight for the truth, Felicísimo Martínez offers us in this work a series of meditations that start from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. Firstly, he reflects on truth, its levels, the assumptions needed to approach it and its relationship with lies. He then addresses the search for truth in specific areas such as personal relationships, society, politics and education. Finally, as a reference for this defence of truth, the author proposes the figure of Thomas Aquinas, a saint who devoted his life to the search for truth, and whose example serves as inspiration to believers and non-believers,’ reads the presentation of the book by the publisher San Pablo.
