Sommario/riassunto

Is truth politically impotent? Are politics inherently false? Is the search for truth still relevant when political leaders blithely reject facts in the public domain? Interweaving epistemology, social criticism, and political thought, this book provides a path-breaking response to these questions to help redirect an allegedly post-truth society.
