| Resumen: |
Este libro aborda la posverdad y el relativismo de una manera multidisciplinaria. Investigadores de astrofÃsica, filosofÃa, psicologÃa, estudios de medios, estudios religiosos, antropologÃa, epistemologÃa social y sociologÃa discuten y analizan el impacto del relativismo y la posverdad tanto dentro del ámbito académico como en la sociedad en general. La motivación para este enfoque multidisciplinario es que el relativismo y la posverdad son fenómenos multifacéticos con historias complejas que se han desarrollado de manera diferente en diferentes áreas de la sociedad y en diferentes disciplinas académicas. Por lo tanto, hay una multitud de formas de usar y comprender los conceptos y los fenómenos a los que se refieren, y también una multitud de crÃticas y defensas. Ningún volumen puede capturar por sà solo los debates en curso en diferentes áreas en toda su complejidad, pero los diferentes capÃtulos del libro pueden funcionar como ejemplificaciones de las ramificaciones que han tenido estos fenómenos. |

| Summary : |
This book approaches post-truth and relativism in a multidisciplinary fashion. Researchers from astrophysics, philosophy, psychology, media studies, religious studies, anthropology, social epistemology and sociology discuss and analyse the impact of relativism and post-truth both within the academy and in society at large. The motivation for this multidisciplinary approach is that relativism and post-truth are multifaceted phenomena with complex histories that have played out differently in different areas of society and different academic disciplines. There is hence a multitude of ways in which to use and understand the concepts and the phenomena to which they refer, and a multitude of critiques and defenses as well. No single volume can capture the ongoing discussions in different areas in all their complexity, but the different chapters of the book can function as exemplifications of the ramifications these phenomena have had. |
