LA POSVERDAD. UNA GUÍA INTRODUCTORIA.

In this paper, I explore under what specific circumstances post-truth undermines democratic legitimacy. First, I argue that post-truth and empirical truths coexist in a fragile epistemic balance. Second, I identify three situations from which post-truth can tip the balance to your advantage and thus dominate the public scene. Third, I point out that the loss of democratic legitimacy is greater when post-truth is associated with political conduct unconcerned by error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
