TY - JOUR AU - Lucia Toman PY - 2020/11/18 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - A Different Perspective on Post-Truth: Lions, Foxes, Academia, and Brexit JF - KULT_online JA - kult-online VL - IS - 62 SE - KULT_reviews DO - 10.22029/ko.2020.1060 UR - https://journals.ub.uni-giessen.de/kult-online/article/view/1060 AB - Post-truth has recently garnered a lot of attention, yet its definition escapes us. Steve Fuller challenges the a priori contempt for post-truth most scholarship seems to have. Instead, he sees post-truth as a stage in the progressive democratization of knowledge. He questions the anti-intellectual label it often bears and claims that its negative consequences are but “growth pains of a maturing democratic intelligence” (181). The book provides compelling analyses of the post-truth condition across a breadth of disciplines and fills in countless lacunae in the study of post-truth. ER -
