The spread of post-truth communication poses significant threats to citizenship and democratic values. This book delves into the impact of post-truth culture on individuals' commitment to truth and attitudes toward information sources, ultimately jeopardizing the promotion of democratic ideals in public debate. The chapters in this volume explore the importance of empowering citizens to enhance their online agency and raise awareness about the risks social media poses to democratic values.
The book begins with two initial chapters that provide historical background and an overview of the present post-truth malaise. It then proceeds to a series of chapters that feature mainly diagnostic accounts of the epistemic and ethical issues we face. These chapters shed light on the challenges posed by the proliferation of false information and the erosion of trust in institutions.
Moving beyond these diagnostic accounts, the book delves into the complexities of virtue-theoretic analyses of specific virtues and vices. The contributors apply research on moral, civic, and epistemic virtues to address the challenges posed by post-truth culture. They explore how individuals can cultivate virtues such as honesty, critical thinking, and empathy to navigate the post-truth landscape and contribute to a more informed and democratic society.
Virtues, Democracy, and Online Media is a valuable resource for scholars and advanced students working in virtue ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and media studies. It offers insightful perspectives on the intersection of virtues, democracy, and online media, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of our digital age. By exploring the role of virtues in shaping individuals and communities, this book contributes to the ongoing debate about the future of democracy and the role of media in promoting democratic values.
