The Western Crisis of Truth in the Early 21st Century: As the Enlightenment Dims: Contemporary Liminality
Autor Arvydas Grišinasen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2024
Through analyses of visual and textual material such as internet memes, academic discourse, news articles, videos and other media, it considers truth-making in the epoch of Russia’s war in Ukraine, Donald Trump, the hyper-rationalist ritualism of managing the COVID-19 pandemic and the shifting realities on the Eastern border of the West, in order to shed light on the transfiguration of the western intellectual tradition by the global political, technological and intellectual dynamics of a world that is far from approaching the end of history. Asking what is to be done in the face of this new reality, The Western Crisis of Truth in the Early 21st Century considers whether the dissident literature of Central and Eastern Europe, which has already lived through a period of disenlightenment under the Soviet Union, as well as other Eastern European movements of dignity and independence might offer answers.
A study of the dimming of the Enlightenment, this volume will appeal to scholars of social and political theory and political anthropology.

Recenzii
"Arvydas Grišnas has written a 21st century revisiting of the dialectic of Enlightenment. In The Western Crisis of Truth in the Early 21st Century, he illuminates Eastern Europe as the epistemologically privileged site that reveals the nature of post-truth. Now not only has science produced a Frankenstein that can victimize its creator, but the technology produced by rationalist science has undermined the very understanding of truth as what is empirically verifiable. Our pathological political reality cannot be understood in the absence of what Grišnas explains as the reality of the not-real." - Marci Shore, Yale University, USA
