Abstract
This set of fragments provides a glued-together patchwork of key ideas about truth and post-truth. It contains a critique of notions of reified Truth and shows that it is our understanding of ordinary truth which matters. “Post-Truthers” refers to those who believe we have passed the stage when pure or objective Truth is a useful issue to explore. “Post-Truthers” are challenged because of their tendency to parade their feelings as important truths. A provisional conclusion is that ordinary, quotidian truth is what matters to us as citizens of well-functioning democracies.
