About This Item

Introducing the MIT Press Essential Knowledge: Post-Truth Paperback Are we living in a post-truth world, where "alternative facts" replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence? Dive into the fascinating exploration of this phenomenon with the MIT Press Essential Knowledge: Post-Truth Paperback. Written by Lee McIntyre, this book takes you on a thought-provoking journey, tracing the development of the post-truth era from science denial to the rise of "fake news." McIntyre delves into our psychological blind spots and the public's retreat into "information silos," shedding light on how we arrived in this unsettling era. But what exactly is post-truth? Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, or bold-faced lying? McIntyre examines recent examples, such as claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote, to reveal that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy, compelling individuals to believe something regardless of evidence. This book goes beyond the 2016 election, exploring the historical roots of post-truth. McIntyre uncovers how the denial of scientific facts about smoking, evolution, vaccines, and climate change paved the way for widespread fact denial. Additionally, he highlights the impact of wired-in cognitive biases, the decline of traditional media, the rise of social media, and the emergence of fake news as a political tool. Drawing a captivating connection, McIntyre argues that the right-wing borrowed from postmodernism in their attacks on science and objective truth.

This captivating perspective challenges readers to consider the deeper implications of the post-truth era. Don't just accept this unsettling reality—learn how to fight back against post-truth. McIntyre asserts that the first step in combating post-truth is understanding it. With MIT Press Essential Knowledge: Post-Truth Paperback, you will gain invaluable insights into this challenging phenomenon and be equipped with the knowledge to decipher truth from fiction.
