THE BOOK
Conspiracy theories, fake news and credulity in social media are responsible for the current tension in the social debate. An analysis of these phenomena, articulated in five possible reading paths, outlines the key concepts of truth, post-truth and investigation, providing some theoretical models capable of relaunching rational discussion. Philosophy, with its tools, here becomes an effective antidote against the denialist tendencies that undermine the dialectic between experts and non-experts, the foundation of knowledge and democracy.
