(Pos)verdad y política en la democracia liberal


Resumen


(Post)Truth and Politics in Liberal Democracy


Resumen: Se ha identificado la denominada “posverdad” como una de las causas mayores de la crisis de la democracia liberal, amenazada por la emergencia de populismos y movimientos extremistas. Sin embargo, no existe acuerdo en la literatura sobre la naturaleza o la seriedad de la amenaza que la posverdad supone. La razón es que no sabemos cuál es la relación que la política y la democracia mantienen con la verdad; tampoco cuál deba ser esa relación en un marco de pluralismo valorativo. Este artículo trata de responder a esas preguntas y ofrece un diagnóstico propio acerca de la posverdad. 


Abstract: So-called “post-truth” has been signalled as one major reason to explain the crisis of liberal-democracy, which is currently threatened by the emergence of populism and extremist movements. However, there is no agreement about the nature or seriousness of that particular threat. The reason is that we do not know how politics and democracy relate to truth, nor how should they relate to each other in a pluralistic framework. This paper attempts to answer these questions and offers an account of post-truth.
