Description: The Humanities in the Age of Information and Post-Truth is a collection of essays that mount a spirited and rigorous defense of the social function of the humanities in contemporary society.

Review Quotes:

"This collection of thought-provoking essays, an example of impeccable scholarship by eminent critics of our time, addresses a timely topic: the role/future of humanities in the increasingly corporatized Academe that relies heavily on what has been termed by critics as 'technical legality'. It effectively makes the case for a Humanities that foster and encourage creativity to enable and aid our successful functioning in the robotized world of the near future by underlining its complexities."--Silvia Nagy-Zekmi, co-editor of Global Academe: Engaging Intellectual Discourse
