Lukes Interviewed on Latest Book: “History and the Post-Truth Era“
In his remarks, Professor Lukes discusses the manifestation of the “post-truth era,” the role of modern political figures in propagating this era of falsehoods, as well as the role of digital and social media in driving people to stop believing in facts and create alternative truths.
Lukes Publishes “History and the Post-Truth Era“
In his latest publication, Lukes studies the Czech history of the 20th century with its disasters and myths as well as today’s political problems in the United States, Russia, and globally. He argues that history does not repeat itself, but with a sufficiently critical and value-based perspective, we can reveal our own mistakes and stereotypes, and find parallels between the present and the past that are not obvious at first glance.
