On prétend que les catégories du vingtième siècle ne seraient plus adaptées pour comprendre le présent. Cet essai démontre au contraire que seul le vingtième siècle nous offre des instruments suffisamment tranchants pour analyser notre temps. Aujourd'hui, la liberté de pensée est garantie, mais il n'est accordée aucune pensée de la liberté : lorsque le capital conquiert le monde entier, il parvient également à conquérir l'homme entier. Mario Tronti médite tragiquement dans ce livre les grands thèmes de l'Histoire et de l'homme : le moderne occupé par le capitalisme et la conception bourgeoise de la vie, la Révolution d'octobre et l'erreur du socialisme, l'effondrement du communisme et la fin de l'histoire ; la mémoire, les classes, le fétichisme de la marchandise, la critique de la démocratie, l'autonomie du politique. Dans ses réflexions sur la liberté, le destin et la prophétie, croisant théologie et marxisme hérétique, De l'esprit libre réussit à nous transmettre une position singulière dans le débat sur la post-modernité, et sur l'usure de nos catégories politiques. Être de son temps sans lui appartenir est l'honnête proposition de Tronti pour retrouver prise sur la politique et le cours de l'histoire.

"Professor Sim clearly cares for the truth; his is a patient exploration of the phenomenon of post-truth, and a rigorously argued defence of the political and philosophical virtues of holding to the truth. He traces the history of post-truth, following the interweaving discourses of fact, faith, fiction, rhetoric, truth and lies to drill down into the complex motivations underpinning the toxic ideology of post-truth. His book is a powerful plea for truth, rationally persuasive, enlightened and enlightening." — Keith Crome, Department of History, Politics and Philosophy, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK This book examines the concept of post-truth and the impact it is having on contemporary life, bringing out both its philosophical and political dimensions. Post-truth is contextualised within the philosophical discourse of truth, with particular reference to theories of scepticism and relativism, to explore whether it can take advantage of these to claim any intellectual credibility. Sim's argument is that post-truth cannot be defended on either sceptical or relativistic grounds – even those provided by recent iconoclastic philosophical movements such as poststructuralism and postmodernism.The affinity between post-truth and conspiracy theory is emphasised, and the extent to which post-truth plays a role in religious doctrine is also considered. Post-truth is seen to constitute a threat to liberal democratic ideals and our Enlightenment heritage, raising the question of whether we are moving into a post-liberal age where the far right would hold power. To prevent this, post-truth urgently needs to be countered.

This book examines the lasting influence of the academic culture wars of the late 20th century on the humanities and progressive politics, and what to make now of those furious debates over postmodernism, multiculturalism, relativism, critical theory, deconstruction, post-structuralism, and so on. In an effort to arrive at a fair judgment on that question, the book reaches for an understanding of postmodern theorists by way of two genres they despised; and hopes, for that reason, to do them justice. The story, in its telling, justifies two basic claims: first, that the phenomenological/hermeneutical tradition is the most suitable source of theory for a humanism that aspires to be truly universal; and, second, that the ethical and political aspect of the human condition is authentically accessible only through narrative. In conclusion, it argues that the postmodern moment was a necessary one, or will have been if we rise to the occasion—and that that is its historical significance.
