{"product_id":"education-in-an-age-of-lies-and-fake-news-1","title":"Education in an Age of Lies and Fake News","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ‘post-truth’ world in which we live has been beset by fake news, lies and a cavalier disregard for truth. If truth is neglected then an alternative is an appeal to the emotions in order to validate a particular position, which can quickly turn to the use of power to impose a particular view. The loss of truth results in the loss of freedom. This book contends that if we want to preserve our freedom then we have a serious obligation to pursue truth. One way to do this is through an adequate moral education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEducation in an Age of Lies and Fake News: Regaining a Love of Truth\u003c\/i\u003e makes an argument for the importance of truth. It explores how we can retrieve the concept of truth and how moral education can be deployed in order to re-establish a commitment to truth. It introduces Eastern perspectives on the question of truth and how we view reality, and presents a realist position on the nature of truth as a counter to scepticism, drawing on Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, amongst others. Further, the chapters are mindful of the significance of developing a pedagogy which not only enables students to be critical thinkers, but to foster a genuine concern for truth and for its pursuit. This book will be essential reading for students, educators, philosophers and researchers pursuing the question of truth in the modern age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258836111704,"sku":"9780367611019","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367611019.jpg?v=1781003746","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/education-in-an-age-of-lies-and-fake-news-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
