metadata.value: The article analyzes the results of the latest theoretical discussions in Western political theory,
  whose participants explore the specific features of the formation of the neoliberal discourse of
  “post-truth” that destroys the traditions of rational politics and the foundations of the humanistic
  paradigm of education that emerged during the European Renaissance and Enlightenment. In the
  modern world, classical humanism contrasts sharply with political realities and ideas prevailing in
  social discourses, including in the field of social sciences. Nowadays, many intellectuals, politicians
  and scientists consider it an almost immutable fact that we have all finally transitioned to
  the world of “post-truth” and “post-humanism”. Therefore, we must come to terms with endless
  streams of lies, manipulations, meaningless propaganda that significantly primitivize the prevailing
  ideas about democratic norms and institutions and try to develop a conceptual apparatus that
  reflects the new reality. At the same time, modern concepts of post-truth in many of their aspects
  develop ideas that arose at the turn of the 1960s — 1970s, when the contours of the “postmodern
  turn” were only outlined in Western political discourse. Moreover, the historical origins of
  the modern phenomenon of post-humanism go back to counter-revolutionary ideology and philosophical
  controversy with the legacy of the French Revolution and the Enlightenment, which was initiated at the turn of the 18th — 19th centuries in the works of the “founding fathers” of modern
  conservatism — Joseph de Maistre and Louis de Bonald. After World War II, an intellectual assault
  on humanism became one of the hallmarks of French structuralism and subsequent more radical
  post-structuralist doctrines. The article substantiates in detail the thesis that today the topic of
  discourse claims to be a kind of “hegemon”, often dictating to the participants in discussions
  the nature and direction of the argumentation. Scientists’ disputes on various aspects of political
  dominance, political communication and education are no exception in this regard. In the process
  of dispersing this trend, it became obvious that a necessary prerequisite for analyzing the language
  of politics is an understanding of the specifics of its various levels — from “high” political
  theory to personal, subjective characteristics.
