"Ignas Kalpokas's volume supplies us with one of the best attempts aimed at precisely defining a political theory of post-truth. By analysing how post-truth narratives affect the mediatised arenas of contemporary democracies, Kalpokas succeeds to shed light on the reasons that have made post-truth so popular, including the blurring of empirical facts (i.e., truth) and the spreading of media logic in both individual and social spheres. For these and many other reasons, this book represents an indispensable instrument for understanding how post-truth narratives produce dramatic political effects in our mediatised societies." (Flavio Chiapponi, University of Pavia, Italy) "Drawing from a plurality of perspectives, ranging from political theory to media studies, in this timely book Kalpokas offers the most thorough theoretical discussion of post-truth currently available. Rather than simply providing a negative description, or an ideologically oriented reading, the author weaves a rich and nuanced analysis of the phenomenon by examining its affective and symbolic dimensions, and rooting his interpretation of post-truth in the still-relevant philosophical work of Baruch Spinoza."
