Are we living in a post-truth world, where “alternative facts” replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence? How did we get here? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lee McIntyre traces the development of the post-truth phenomenon from science denial through the rise of “fake news,” from our psychological blind spots to the public’s retreat into “information silos.”
What, exactly, is post-truth? Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, bold-faced lying? McIntyre analyzes recent examples—claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote—and finds that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy by which its practitioners try to compel someone to believe something regardless of the evidence. Yet post-truth didn’t begin with the 2016 election; the denial of scientific facts about smoking, evolution, vaccines, and climate change offers a road map for more widespread fact denial. Add to this the wired-in cognitive biases that make us feel that our conclusions are based on good reasoning even when they are not, the decline of traditional media and the rise of social media, and the emergence of fake news as a political tool, and we have the ideal conditions for post-truth. McIntyre also argues provocatively that the right wing borrowed from postmodernism—specifically, the idea that there is no such thing as objective truth—in its attacks on science and facts.
McIntyre argues that we can fight post-truth, and that the first step in fighting post-truth is to understand it.
以传播学,心理学,哲学等方向对后真相现象进行导论性的解释。不过MIT这个系列和牛津的VSI系列差距确实不小,之前看Extremism感觉特别明显
评分A bit disappointed as the intra-chapter arguments do not follow a clear line, and many are redundant. Very shallow piece of reading but the notes & bibliography may be helpful to seek deeper understanding of post-modernism.
评分虽然划分在哲学书籍里,但是并不算很深度的书籍,从历史到当下问题,以及到产生原因和解决方式都有介绍。
评分深入浅出
评分观点比较全对于入门来说,但是都很浅
