Beschrijving

In a captivating exploration that dissects the very fabric of truth in contemporary society, Steve Fuller delves into the concept of ‘post-truth’-a term that swept into the spotlight and even earned recognition as Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year in 2016. He observes how our understanding of knowledge has morphed, becoming less about objective facts and more about the power dynamics behind information.

Fuller navigates through the murky waters of belief systems and the often tumultuous relationship between knowledge and power. He argues that in a world buzzing with opinions and biases, the notion of what constitutes "truth" is no longer straightforward. Instead, it's shaped by various actors in a game that can dictate beliefs and influence the masses.

With a blend of insight and provocation, he invites readers to reflect on the implications of residing in a post-truth era. By challenging conventional perspectives and urging critical thinking, Fuller aims to empower individuals to reclaim their understanding of knowledge amidst the chaos of competing narratives.
