The upsurge of irrationality: post-truth politics for a polarised world [El recrudecimiento de la irracionalidad: políticas de la posverdad para un mundo polarizado]

Firstly, I summarise the current philosophical and psychological study of post-truth. Secondly, I discuss “white post-truth”, a still unattended form perceived as morally superior by many social actors and scholars. Thirdly, I describe the kind of intergroup struggle that underlies the emergence and spread of these non-standard epistemologies.
