Epistemological Criticism of Post-truth Generation Research:On the Method of Restoring the Truth
In terms of the analysis and criticism of post-truth,the existing research has turned to the epistemology of the generation of post-truth phenomenon.Restoring people's confidence in the truth has become a difficult problem for intellectuals.Starting from the epistemology of criticizing the generation of post-truth phenomenon,this paper systematically explores two key forgotten elements and negligence of two factors in the current research on post-truth phenomenon,which leads to the incomplete epistemological criticism of the generation of post-truth.The key forgotten elements refer to the worldview and methodology,that is,the forgetting of postmodern,especially deconstructionist knowledge,and the forgetting of the expression of"generalized abstraction"of post-truth.The negligence of two factors refers to the factors that play a role in the generation of post-truth phenomenon:the infinite admiration of the significance of human communication activities and the abuse of the control logic of economic symbolic capital.To this end,in order to break the post-truth and restore the truth,we should start from the multi-dimensional knowledge system and use social governance as a means to reshape the self-media public opinion order.
