"The Contemporary World: Searching for Reality and Truth"

What is the role of reality in the contemporary world of hyperreality? What is the role of truth in the contemporary post-truth epoch? The talk will focus on philosophical conceptions and on the contemporary issues of grasping reality and truth in the world of self-fulfilling hypotheses and media. Critical references to logical fallacies in political speeches, instrumental production of commercial profit-oriented traditions in culture, victim-blaming narratives of Russian war in Ukraine and others will invite for a wider discussion.
