Roughly speaking, the Facebookians think they should only make political claims that are liked by their friends and willing to defend from their enemies. For the Facebookians, it is correct to claim that Trump is a stable genius, when, and only when, it meets those conditions. Now suppose most Facebookians are unaware of their own norms. Like us, they call people who defend their political views \u201csincere,\u201d describe their own political judgments as \u201ctrue\u201d and insist they\u2019re concerned with \u201cevidence\u201d and \u201cfacts\u201d \u2014 even though they aren\u2019t ever motivated by, or responsive to, actual evidence and facts in politics. They are, as it were, blind to the norms that really move them, mistaking truth for conformity and chasing shadows on the digital walls.<\/p>\n<p>In this paper, I use this disturbing thought experiment to examine the normative function\u2014if any\u2014truth has in democratic political discourse. Drawing on earlier work by Huw Price and others, I argue that reflection on this sort of scenario reveals that truth has a more than disquotational function in such discourse\u2014 a function that, while very thin, still plays a crucial democratic role. But I will also suggest\u2014based on the obvious similarities between our own actual political discourse and those of the Facebookians\u2014that this role is often merely regulative and aspirational\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5334 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goPkjZFY_400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goPkjZFY_400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goPkjZFY_400x400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goPkjZFY_400x400-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpd.ugr.es\/~filolab\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goPkjZFY_400x400-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El pr\u00f3ximo martes 24 de octubre el profesor Michael Lynch (University of Connecticut, USA) impartir\u00e1 una nueva sesi\u00f3n TEC FIloLab que lleva por t\u00edtulo: \u00abTruth as Politically Normative\u00bb.
