Summary/Abstract: The Philosophy of Betrayal. We are on the grounds of political philosophy, more precisely we are trying to analyze the relation between politics and truth from the perspective of treason. This study concentrates on the examination of the mechanism of treason, and specifically political treason, with the help of two specific analyses. The first connects to George Orwell, the second to the political situation in Romania before 1989. The philosophy of betrayal links to the political way of thinking more closely, but let us admit, that it is present at other segments of social life, too.
