FROM RISK SOCIETY TO RESILIENCE SOCIETY IN THE POST-TRUTH WORLD

Abstract: In a society marked by uncertainties and a great diversity of hazards, finding the ‘truth’ and triggering the right response are essential for transforming a risk society into a resilience society, yet in the current post-truth world, telling the truth is a risk in itself. This paper is an attempt to find answers for two questions about what has been called the ‘post-truth condition’. First, the paper asks whether we are dealing with a new phenomenon, specific to the contemporary world, or, on the contrary, we are facing an older human tendency, which manifests itself today in a new and more aggressive form. Second, the article provides an answer to the question of whether post-truth is a phenomenon belonging to human nature itself, that is, whether man is, as some scholars have claimed, a ‘post-truth species’.
