Post-Truth
Book • 2018
In 'Post-Truth', Lee McIntyre traces the development of the post-truth phenomenon from its roots in science denial, cognitive bias, and postmodernism.
The book examines how political strategy, social media, and human psychology contribute to an environment where facts are frequently ignored or distorted.
McIntyre analyzes the cognitive biases and emotional mechanisms that underpin the post-truth condition, highlighting the dangers of confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and the seduction of emotion over reason.
The book concludes with reflections on the long-term implications of the post-truth era and offers strategies for restoring the value of truth in public discourse.
