After the End of Truth | John Searle, Hilary Lawson, Hannah Dawson

from Philosophy for our times | The Institute of Art and Ideas Podcast · host IAI

A generation raised on Foucault and Derrida has learned to distrust claims to objective truth. Yet the mantra that 'there is no truth' is a paradox. Do we need a new conception of fantasy and reality to free us from the tyranny of truthmakers and the paradoxes of postmodernists alike? The Panel American philosopher John Searle, post-postmodernist Hilary Lawson and Historian of Ideas at KCL Hannah Dawson untangle the truth.
