Through the reflections of thinkers such as Deleuze and Arendt, and with examples ranging from contemporary politics to daily life, Breeur unravels how lying, imposture, and stupidity have become dominant forces in our cynical society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoland Breeur examines the transformation of the meaning and function of truth in the world today. The book begins with an analysis of the figure of Donald Trump as a paradigm of post-truth, and then delves into the philosophical roots of this phenomenon. Through a journey that connects classical philosophy with contemporary thought, the author explores how the lie has ceased to be a simple deviation from the truth to become a tool of power. Imposture, for its part, is presented as a strategy of simulation that empties institutions and discourses of content. Finally, stupidity is analyzed not as a lack of intelligence, but as a form of passive resistance to the complexity of the world. Breeur weaves these three concepts together to offer an incisive critique of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe crisis of truth and the rise of post-truth in contemporary society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLying as an instrument of power and political manipulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eImposture as a mechanism of simulation and the emptying of reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStupidity understood as a form of resistance to complexity and critical thinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the philosophies of Hannah Arendt and Gilles Deleuze in relation to truth and politics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in political philosophy, social criticism, and the analysis of contemporary culture.

Roland Breeur manages to condense a profound and accessible analysis into just over one hundred pages, avoiding both hermetic academicism and superficial simplification. His approach, which connects theory with concrete examples from current politics and culture, makes it a valuable read for anyone concerned about the state of truth in the public sphere. It is a book that invites reflection and provides intellectual tools to navigate a world where the distinction between what is true and what is false has become increasingly blurred.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BIBLIOTECA NUEVA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53406657675611,"sku":"9788418236495","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841823649.jpg?v=1781836971","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788418236495","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
