Se trate de noticias falseadas (fake news) o de ultrafalsos (deep fakes), el fenómeno de la desinformación vuelve a poner en primer plano la cuestión de la verdad. Sin embargo, no es tanto la verdad misma lo que hoy urge pensar, sino su posible valor en nuestras vidas personales y en la esfera pública. Aunque este libro incluye un capítulo sobre la pregunta teórica de qué sea la verdad, el principal foco de atención está en la cuestión práctica de su importancia. ¿Qué tan relevante es la verdad y por qué? ¿Cuándo debiera preocuparnos y cuándo no? ¿En qué consiste mentir y cómo es posible engañar mediante chanchullos que no son mentiras? ¿Cuál es la verdadera razón por la que, al menos en muchos casos, criticamos a quienes mienten? ¿Y por qué algunos engaños nos duelen tanto? ¿Debiéramos tomar en serio el neologismo «posverdad»? Y, al margen de consideraciones morales, ¿por qué podría resultar aconsejable cultivar un cierto ideal de sinceridad con miras a una vida buena o feliz? En un lenguaje asequible a un público no especializado, en estas páginas se exploran, entre otras, preguntas como las anteriores.
