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.
