The Western crisis of truth in the early 21st century as the enlightenment dims

The Western Crisis of Truth in the Early 21st Century explores the symbolic, experiential, and associative side of contemporary political culture, arguing that phenomena such as 'post-truth', digitalization, mediatization, propaganda, illiberalism or populism, far from being curiosities, have in fact come to represent a uniform aspect of political culture - a challenge to the 'enlightened', 'developed' and 'progressive' world that we believed ourselves to be inhabiting.

Abstract

The Western Crisis of Truth in the Early 21st Century explores the symbolic, experiential, and associative side of contemporary political culture, arguing that phenomena such as 'post-truth', digitalization, mediatization, propaganda, illiberalism or populism, far from being curiosities, have in fact come to represent a uniform aspect of political culture - a challenge to the 'enlightened', 'developed' and 'progressive' world that we believed ourselves to be inhabiting.
