Interview on the Mistaken Diagnosis “Post-Truth”

There is a short interview with me published in the [special issue of the Philosophie Magazin devoted to Michel Foucault] (https://www.philomag.de/archives/12-philosophie-magazin-sonderausgabe-2019). With Catherine Newmark, I discuss the popular but wrong idea that Foucault or the heterogenous group of “postmodern” thinkers are characterized by contempt for truth or even for the often diagnosed surge in untruth in politics today.

If you want to read more on the topic, my recommendation is to take a look at my article “The Problem of Post-Truth”.
