The death of truth

Book name: Death of Truth Author: Michiko Kakutani Publisher: Masaa for Publishing and Distribution Book category: Novels Number of pages: 192 About the book: The book includes - apart from sharp criticism directed at the President of the United States, Donald Trump - social, cultural, political, and media criticism in defense of reason and rationality in the face of emotion and ignorance; and an attempt to save the values of enlightenment and rationalism that drown in a sea of fanaticism and ideological frenzy. The author explains the philosophical and intellectual foundations on which our current culture is based, analyzing and criticizing them. Her critique of the populist current does not stem from a classist superiority but from a perspective of defending society against exploitation through various authoritative forms. The book also features a sharp critique directed at the internet in general and social media in particular... These platforms have allowed populist mentality to spread its words regarding specialized fields, broadcasting its vocabulary and contempt for seriousness, embodying a retreat from noble action to hollow speech.
