چکیده (انگلیسی):

Propounding the notions of relativity and subjectivity with regard to truth by such
thinkers as Nietzsche and also the promoters of Modern physics such as Einstein
has induced a kind of revolution in human thought. Nietzsche argues that what is
called truth is nothing more than an illusion, because all phenomena differ day by
day and thus our appraisal of them cannot be the same in different times. Einstein
holds that everyone has their own assessment of reality due to their specific
situation in the world; therefore different people have different views about the
same phenomenon. In his Six Characters in Search of an Author, Pirandello shows the
significance of the characters’ situation in determining their views of reality – hence
the relativity and indeterminacy of both reality and truth. Moreover he blurs the
borderline between reality and illusion by mingling them and thereby creates a
diversity of perceptions for his readers and audience. The relativity, indeterminacy
and polyphony that exist in his play do not let thereaders or the audience to grasp
any solid truth or firm meaning out of it.
