| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this article is to discuss and interpret the functioning of post-truth in
language, together with proving the research hypothesis that it is a cognitive category
that resultsfrom the properties of judgements, thoughts, beliefs, based on transtextual
operations carried out before or on the basis ofthem, rather than on selected elements
of knowledge about reality. The research problem is whether post-truth is a real
existing phenomenon occurring in social practice, e.g. in the sphere ofthe application
of law, or whether these are merely textual games resulting from the interaction of
two or more texts, in some cases multiple texts-discourses about texts-discourses
(metatexts) in their "genre-scape", interpénétration and intertwining ofthe contents
and meanings contained in them often relativised in terms of their correspondence to
reality, facts and values. | en |
