POST-TRUTH, AS SEEN FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF SOCIOLOGY, LOGIC, AND METAPHYSICS INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the phenomenon of post-truth is addressed from several perspec-tives (social, cultural, media, political, logical, anthropological, and metaphysi-cal) and at the three levels of cultural presence, namely, in texts containingpost-truth, in studies in which post-truth is analyzed and criticized, and in stud-ies devoted to investigating the essence of post-truth in terms of personalism,classical logic, and metaphysics. The purpose of the article is to analyze post-truth at the third level, aiming to show the peculiarities of the phenomenon inthe context of truth, fi ction, classical logic and non-classical logics, ontology,metaphysics, the social subject, and its acts. Post-truth is a constitutive elementof the culture of postmodernism and contributes to a diminished existentialstatus of both societies and individuals, being a causal factor of globalization,simulacrization, virtualization, ludifi cation, and widespread hypocrisy. As such,post-truth is identifi ed as a factor in the degradation of human beings and of thevalues inherent in the European tradition.
