Sources and Impact of Non- and Post-Truth Situations

Summary/Abstract: Post-truth and fake news are part of the contemporary age and they are a new phenomenon, connected with a deep crisis of universal values and important changes in social life and in culture, changes leading to important aberrations, including of memory and history. This is highly visible in political representation; and it leads to relativism that tries to appear as truth. The article distinguishes here between warlike relativism ‒ my truth against your truth, and ecumenical relativism ‒ all truths are acceptable; the author emphasizes the responsibility of the elites with respect to such issues.
