George Orwell

George Orwell (1903–1950) was an English writer, essayist, and journalist best known for his works *Animal Farm* and *Nineteen Eighty-Four*. Beyond his novels, Orwell’s enduring influence lies in his moral philosophy — a relentless pursuit of truth amid the distortions of politics, ideology, and language - wikipedia

Orwell spoke on many BBC and other broadcasts, but no recordings are known to survive - wikipedia

For Orwell, truth was not an abstract ideal but a form of civic duty. He believed that the corruption of language leads directly to the corruption of thought, and that political lies are sustained through euphemism, repetition, and fear.

In essays such as Politics and the English Language (1946) and Looking Back on the Spanish War (1942), he warned that the habit of self-deception was the first step toward totalitarianism.

Orwell’s philosophy of truth rested on clarity, honesty, and the courage to face uncomfortable facts. He distrusted slogans and grand theories, preferring plain speech and empirical observation. Even today, Orwell’s name is invoked whenever truth is under threat.
