"Western societies are under siege, as fake news, post-truth and alternative facts
are undermining the very core of democracy. This dystopic narrative is currently circulated
by intellectuals, journalists and policymakers worldwide. In this book, Johan Farkas
and Jannick Schou deliver a comprehensive study of post-truth discourses. They critically
map the normative ideas contained in these and present a forceful call for deepening
democracy. The dominant narrative of our time is that democracy is in a state of emergency
caused by social media, changes to journalism and misinformed masses. This crisis
needs to be resolved by reinstating truth at the heart of democracy, even if this
means curtailing civic participation and popular sovereignty. Engaging with critical
political philosophy, Farkas and Schou argue that these solutions neglect the fact
that democracy has never been about truth alone. It is equally about the voice of
the democratic people. Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy delivers a sobering diagnosis
of our times. It maps contemporary discourses on truth and democracy, foregrounds
their normative foundations and connects these to historical changes within liberal
democracies. The book will be of interest to students and scholars studying the current
state and future of democracy, as well as to a politically informed readership"
