Abstract

 Con el artículo se pretende comprender el significado filosófico del concepto de “post-verdad”, así como su posible relación con lo religioso, a través de la conjugación con la dimensión ético-pragmática. Para alcanzar ese objetivo, se propone el recurso al debate entre hermenéutica y crítica de las ideologías, a partir del respectivo análisis elaborado por Ricoeur e involucrando el modo como Hannah Arendt relaciona verdad y política. Se concluye que, más que hacer derivar la verdad de los hechos, es posible hacer derivar los hechos de la verdad, concibiendo ésta como orientación escatológica para la acción, en función de determinadas exigencias éticas. Esta dimensión al mismo tiempo ética y escatológica es la que permite comprender la relación entre (post) verdad y religión.


Abstract: The article intends to understand the philosophical meaning of the concept of “post-truth”, as well as its possible relation with religion, through the conjugation with the ethical-pragmatic dimension. In order to achieve this goal, it is proposed to use the debate between hermeneutics and critique of ideologies, based on the analysis elaborated by Ricoeur and involving the way in which Hannah Arendt relates truth and politics. It follows that rather than deriving the truth from the facts, it is possible to derive the facts from the truth, conceiving it as an eschatological orientation to action, in function of certain ethical requirements. This dimension, both ethical and eschatological, allows us to understand the relationship between (post)truth and religion.
