What We Talk About When We Talk About (Post)Truth convincingly shows not only that the understanding and position of “truth” is always historically and culturally contextualized, but that truth itself has its own history, the history of its affirmations and negations. Its current moment comes clearly into view only in relation to this historical consciousness. After all these experiences, spiritual and other, with apotheosis and critique of the one Truth, we again today live – as was the case in the past – in a double relation to truth: it can be the cruel God of the Old Testament, when it comes from those convinced they are its sovereign possessors, much as giving up on it by putting out onto the heartless media market might be the high cost of loss of all standards, all certitude, all trust.
