For Eva Karcher, artists arrived in the desert of the real, if they have 'given up their sovereignty to the reality'. For Karcher's unique Privilege of the art 'the privilege of their distance from reality'.
Has Eva Karcher right? What is the relationship art has to the truth? Which relate to this position the individual artist?

in the film by Walter Smerling 'Work for Eternity' says the painter and sculptor Mark Lüpertz:
"I just think that there is no reality is but an imaginary, a dreamed a saw, is an alleged fact, which is that what happened. What's out there, like life , is so banal that it is
not worth mentioning. So the fact that you live is simply are not enough to bend some. You have to live this defect, the need to fill with things that are full of mystery, full of stories, full of lies, full of mazes, and are full of wrong ways. Otherwise, this is not a life, what would it be otherwise? They will otherwise have to reinvent themselves. You have to reinvent themselves in this world, you have yourself form this world, You have to even make this world tolerable. If you live only on the fact that you are there, then that is really the end of everything, right? "
This outlines Markus Lüpertz the picture. A confident Artists. It is worth considering. The setting value of an artist. This leads to an interesting question: If we think of art as a provision? Or we put them before us as a profession? Art has a social role, or at least a social function? What? What values and attitudes are at the art at the top? What is their value hierarchy? If such a hierarchy of values in art at all possible? If so, what values, what value systems compete for the seats in the upper tiers? What is the specific value judgments of art different from the priorities of other professions? What values are such great value for scientists? What values are at journalists? And what are politicians, managers etc. based

the artist Ad Reinhardt on one point: "Art is art and everything else is everything else "
(quoted by Eva Karcher, 2007). is thus the question of the identity of a specific group of people who called themselves artists, or which are referred to as an artist. What makes an artist? Which can identify an artist? How do they distinguish themselves from other people? My concern is that level of reflection in terms of specific values may be low. But is it really as low as with other people? Since I would like to tease and stimulate a more playful approach to the hierarchy of values exercises. But first I want to turn to even the concept of truth. constructivists have a fairly flexible concept of truth. In epistemology and philosophy of science, the concept of truth has been problematized. Karl Popper pointed out in his book, Logic of Scientific Discovery 'after that sentences can never be proven about reality. The verification of a statement is impossible. The do not know anyone, but it certainly is not everyone is a scientist. Still, it makes sense to deal with the boundaries of science. Within these limits, however, it is possible to test a statement about the reality critically. And that is exactly according to Popper, the only legitimate object of science. You should not try to prove something. That makes no sense, perhaps for one or the other client, but not for serious scientific research. Scientific research can not prove anything, but it can - that's their job - trying to refute statements about reality. And that's the only thing they can. The object of the Science is a critical one. Science can certainly contribute to the truth. When it's critical. When they checked. A systematic scientific review attempts to refute a hypothesis. She tries it seriously, not half-hearted Underground

If it detects false assumptions about reality, they celebrate their success. Everything else is the preparatory work. Trying to prove something belongs in a different professional profile. science operates on the border of Truth and falsehood. A scientist is critical in the first place, only then perhaps a constructivist. The development of a theory is not forbidden him, but it is not their core business. Theorizing and verifying without seriously compromising the construct in question is in science according to more than questionable. In contrast to the artist and in contrast to a constructivist-oriented scholars clearly to the truth. The systems theorist Niklas Luhmann described according to the "truth" (truth vs. falsehood) as a guiding difference in science.

in politics is handled, the concept of truth is always something more flexible. Since the task of critical examination in 1945 should be continued in Germany of a free press, this was later next legislative, executive and judicial branches and as 4th Violent means. As an observer of the observers (journalists) describes Tom Schimmeck (even journalists) mechanisms that lead to many political journalists no longer perform their critical task. This is a very exciting but also very interesting problem in our society. This may help
some self-reflection on Questions such as:

actually see how the values hierarchy concrete political journalists? And how should the hierarchy of values look of an ideal journalist? These questions are necessary. These questions are helpful. These questions can help clarify something important. I presume.
Who obsessed here is certainly not alone. For it can be found parallels. For example, when 'scientists' who are the principal targets of partisan feel so committed to that as their primary mission scientists shoot in the wind. We remember: The role of the scientist is a critical, it is about the exclusion of the false. For political journalists, his task is no longer perceived appropriate place Schimmeck unflattering words like yes-men, flatterers, court jester, advertisers and at the level of behavior: Hofschranzentum, government stooges etc. This deviant behavior does not seem time-specific, as his scathing quote by Kurt Tucholsky shows: "The German journalist is not to be bribed, he is proud to be invited, he is quite satisfied to be treated as a power." (Tom Schimmeck, 2010, 73)

If politicians deal flexibly with the truth, whether we look to them that perhaps after all they have to change the order the world to set rules for a better world. But it's something else to create a better world and stand up for them. But seen precisely, surely that is no turning away from the truth. That's no lie. A functioning politician is an agent, one who make a difference. But he is not a liar. Or is it? In a democracy it is my understanding, at least not and should not be.
The first task of an entrepreneur is not to seek the truth. A contractor must ensure that money comes in, it was for him, it was for his employees. Should he provide money to the community, he says gratefully. Instead of paying tax, is invested. Non-operating assets, that is, taxes are a burden to the contractor. Why pay taxes if instead can be invested? The employer is obliged first of his company. Therefore, most companies defend against such machines or taxes against a tax on value added. The client is not
the general public. Naive or stupid, who can be talked into something else.
In every large community there is a division of labor. Since everyone has a different task. And so, every person, derived from their professional role, and so it will not be easy, even from their own private interests, an individual hierarchy of values, will be accessible to you when it comes to decision making.

I hope you will not be put off. In practice it is much simpler, even if good faith is not a solution. If you have difficulties with establishing your own values pyramid do you even bother. You are not alone.
we close the sheet and return to the relationship between art and truth. An artist who makes his vision, does not need to lie. He has to his status does not guarantee a title. Why should they? He does not even market share. Unless he has sold his art.
