Description
In an age of misinformation, propaganda, and competing claims, this concise and timely work examines what we mean when we call something “true.” Julian Baggini identifies ten distinct forms of supposed truth—from scientific and factual knowledge to personal, religious, and political conviction—and explores the strengths and limitations of each. He reveals how even our most trusted routes to understanding can be distorted, becoming gateways to falsehood when treated as unquestionable. Clear, thought-provoking, and philosophically accessible, the book offers a guide to thinking more carefully about truth in a post-truth world.
