Democracy in the Post-Truth Era

Om Democracy in the Post-Truth Era

Debates whether liberal democracy can convincingly respond to the widespread crisis of faith in expertise We are facing a crisis of trust in expertise today. Fewer and fewer people trust experts, and more and more politicians openly ignore expert consensus. Democracy in the Post-Truth Era asks what might happen to democracy if we reject the fundamental liberal assumption that people are capable of making informed choices. The book explores the potential impact on society if people, including politicians, never appreciate the relevance of expert opinions. What if people cannot choose between supporters and opponents of key issues such as the causes of climate change, the effectiveness of vaccines and ways of combating economic and social crises? Applying social epistemology to these questions, the book considers whether democracy can be defended in the post-truth era. Janusz Grygieńc is Associate professor for political philosophy at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland.
