If truth is neglected then an alternative is an appeal to the emotions in order to validate a particular position, which can quickly turn to the use of power to impose a particular view. The loss of truth results in the loss of freedom. This book contends that if we want to preserve our freedom then we have a serious obligation to pursue truth. One way to do this is through an adequate moral education. Education in an Age of Lies and Fake News: Regaining a Love of Truth makes an argument for the importance of truth. It explores how we can retrieve the concept of truth and how moral education can be deployed in order to re-establish a commitment to truth. It introduces Eastern perspectives on the question of truth and how we view reality, and presents a realist position on the nature of truth as a counter to scepticism, drawing on Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, amongst others. Further, the chapters are mindful of the significance of developing a pedagogy which not only enables students to be critical thinkers, but to foster a genuine concern for truth and for its pursuit. This book will be essential reading for students, educators, philosophers and researchers pursuing the question of truth in the modern age"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Education $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Moral education. 650 0 $a Fake news $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Knowledge, Theory of. 700 1 $a Ozolins, Janis T., $e editor. 830 0 $a Routledge international studies in the philosophy of education. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506012109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FE60B6E83F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
