Description

In "Post-Truth", Lee McIntyre explores how we arrived in an era where facts are increasingly seen as subjective and alternative truths gain prominence. He examines the development of post-truth from science denial to the rise of "fake news" and its impact on our understanding of reality. McIntyre argues that post-truth is not a new phenomenon, but rather a continuation of existing trends in science denial and cognitive bias. He analyzes recent examples of fact denial and finds that post-truth often involves asserting ideological supremacy over evidence. By understanding the roots of post-truth, McIntyre contends that we can begin to fight it. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the post-truth phenomenon and its implications for our society.
