    Post-truth: putting the brakes on the bandwagon

    In mid-to-late 2016, an emerging narrative began to claim that we had entered a world in which truth no longer carried the weight and significance that it once did. This short episode presents a brief introduction to, and criticism of, the notion of post-truth. It serves as a useful background for the next three episodes, in which I interview three academics about various facets of post-truth. Highlights The mainstream take on post-truth Problematizing the narrative Critical takes What now? Links and additional information Putting the brakes on the post-truth bandwagon My article in The Philosophical Salon, with links to many of the sources discussed in the episode. Oxford Dictionaries word of the year 2016
