Today, massive dissemination of populist narratives, the use of public media as weapons, and the wholesale transformation of politics into a system of result-oriented power games have rendered facts to be much “less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief” than in the recent past, as was stated in the definition of “post-truth” in the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language.

​

The intrinsic value of truth is challenged by the instrumental rationality of Realpolitik. In the time of an unprecedented advancement of technologies, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and explosion of social media we quite often experience that the impasse does not have easy resolutions. The seminar aims to shed light on the variety of aspects and implications of this problem and to explore and test the range of available responses. Participants are invited to consider the related issues of trust, justice, human rights, identity, political populism, and hybrid war, in light of the primacy of human dignity and interpersonal relationships.
