What is meant by 'post truth'? 1. The book describes post-truth as 'Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief'.

Philosophy transformed into a progressively specialized discipline, entrenched in religious and educational institutions. This transformation results in philosophy and...
