POST TRUTH IS AN ASSERTION CRISIS
Résumé
The hypothesis put forward in this essay is that bullshitting is in large part responsible
for, and perhaps at the core of, what we call post-truth. Bullshitting is essentially
the attitude of ignoring the norms of assertion. The consequences of the widespread
character of this attitude can explain why contempt for truth and knowledge are so
widespread in our societies, even though they are supposed to be “knowledge societies.”
