Summary/Abstract: The author presents a detailed analysis and interpretation of the truth metaphor (appearing in Johann Georg Hamann's letter to Immanuel Kant of July 27, 1759), in which the truth is presented as a woman in layers dresses, and after tearing them off, it turns out to be a ghost. This metaphor remains considered emblematic and interpreted in the theological and ethical context Hamann's model of truth. God's truth is made available to man in communication an act of self-lowering, a specific type of which is embodied. Is it is available to man through its specific historical manifestations, the most important of which is the God-man himself. The truth incarnation is fine terrestrial is realized in man through the creative activities of the author who it imitates God's kenotic action in relation to his own thoughts. Yes the conceived author's activity is also a service to the truth.
