A Short History of Truth
Consolations for a Post-Truth World
Book • 2019
In 'A Short History of Truth', Julian Baggini delves into the complex history of truth and falsehood, identifying ten types of supposed truth: Eternal, Authoritative, Esoteric, Reasoned, Evidence-based, Creative, Relative, Powerful, Moral, and Holistic truths.
The book aims to provide consolations for a post-truth world by explaining how each type of truth can become distorted and how truth-seekers must be sceptical yet open-minded.
