Exploring the philosophical and political dimensions of post-truth, this book delves into its implications for contemporary society. It critiques the intellectual credibility of post-truth by examining its relationship with scepticism and relativism, arguing against its defense by recent philosophical movements. The connection between post-truth and conspiracy theories is highlighted, alongside its influence on religious beliefs. Ultimately, the work warns of post-truth's threat to liberal democracy and Enlightenment values, advocating for urgent countermeasures to prevent a shift towards a post-liberal era dominated by the far right.
