description In this text, we try to situate the teaching of philosophy in the midst of the panorama of the post-truth politics, as a new horizon of hegemonic communication of our time. We present some central and harmful characteristics of post-truth politics, such as the communicative polarization of digital bubbles and the viral nature of fakenews, as mainly the result of the expansion of data control over the Internet. Throughout this presentation, we ask ourselves about the relations that these phenomena keep with philosophy: the relation that the post-truth politics holds with truth; how to situate the problem in a broader philosophical understanding of contemporaneity; and how to think the potentiality of the philosophical constructed truth regimes as an immune pedagogical strategy in the chaos of the “post-truth politics era”.
