ABSTRACT
If postmodernism has died, what has replaced it remains unclear. But there is one movement which ought not to replace it, and ought not to be allowed to replace it, and that is ‘post-truth’. ‘Post-truth’ is a political rather than an intellectual culture where ‘debate is framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored. Post-truth differs from traditional contesting and falsifying of truth by rendering it of “secondary” importance’ (Wikipedia, 2017).
