The Post-Truth Condition: Philosophical Reflections, edited by Tarun Kattumana and Simon Truwant, demonstrates the absence of a unitary understanding of the phenomenon of post-truth stems from the complex nature of the “post-truth condition” itself. By approaching post-truth as a broad and multi-layered societal issue, the contributors offer an original contribution to the existing scholarship in three ways. First, they emphasize that the post-truth condition is not just a political matter but also a pervasive cultural phenomenon. Second, putting forward a nuanced understanding of the post-truth phenomenon requires a combination of conceptual, empirical, and historical analysis. Third, this volume brings together considerations from the philosophy of history, epistemology, philosophy of science, political philosophy, psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and philosophy of art to provide a careful analysis of both the negative and reactionary characteristics of the post-truth phenomenon as well as its positive and liberatory potential.

From exploring the nature of the problem to proposing solutions, the chapters span an impressive range of disciplines and philosophical traditions. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or a curious observer, this book promises fresh insights and thought-provoking questions for anyone intrigued by the evolving role of truth in contemporary discourse.
Massimiliano Simons, Maastricht University
A stimulating and wide-ranging anthology, The Post-Truth Condition: Philosophical Reflections offers multiple critical entry points into thinking with, against, and beyond the notion of a post-truth era. Spanning a range of philosophical schools, this book provides a much-needed expansion of the theoretical terrain. A good companion for both students and scholars interested in disinformation, fake news, and post-truth.
