It examines how modern societies create and protect shared truth through norms, institutions, and practices rather than through authority alone. Rauch argues that knowledge depends on a public system of checking claims, correcting error, and preserving freedom of inquiry, much as political constitutions structure power and restrain abuse. The book is part political theory, part media critique, and part defense of liberal science, responding to disinformation, polarization, and attacks on expertise. Its purpose is not simply to lament the decline of facts, but to explain why truth-seeking institutions matter and how they can be defended. Rauch writes for readers concerned about journalism, science, law, and civic discourse, especially in an era when public disagreement increasingly turns into epistemic conflict over what is real.
