abstract

  • A study on post-truth allows us to think about a classic and fundamental problem in moral and political philosophy, that is the relationship between lie and truth. In this sense, my interest is focused on the position of these two concepts in the political discourse. It is a classic theme, but on this occasion, I am interested in analyzing what we can define today the systemic transcendence of post-truth. The concern for the idea of truth is related to the concern for the foundation of rights, for the possibility and the convenience of thinking about a certain ethical objectivism according to which certain things or certain statements are true from a moral point of view
