This paper aims at analysing the relationship between conscientious objection and Truth. Firstly, it will try to investigate dialectically the Truth-based approach to conscientious objection. Secondly, it will point out its main implications and moral premises in terms of theories of conscience. Thirdly, it will scrutinize two possible ‘logics’ of conscientious objection from the legal viewpoint. Eventually, the paper will point out the goals of the Truth-based approach and the positive law-based approach to conscientious objection, and their effects on contemporary democratic society.

Abstract
This paper aims at analysing the relationship between conscientious objection and Truth. Firstly, it will try to investigate dialectically the Truth-based approach to conscientious objection. Secondly, it will point out its main implications and moral premises in terms of theories of conscience. Thirdly, it will scrutinize two possible ‘logics’ of conscientious objection from the legal viewpoint. Eventually, the paper will point out the goals of the Truth-based approach and the positive law-based approach to conscientious objection, and their effects on contemporary democratic society.
