Steve Fuller

Post-Truth

Knowledge As A Power Game

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'Post-truth', Oxford Dictionary's 2016 word of the year, appears to cover only the turn away from reason in contemporary politics. In fact the truth behind 'post-truth' is historically and philosophically more complex. As Fuller shows in this book, it reaches into the nature of knowledge itself.
