Lying, Secrecy and Politics:
\nHistory and Future in Our New Age of Disbelief<\/strong><\/span>
Tuesday, March 19, 2019, and
\nTuesday, April 2, 2019 (repeat session)<\/p>\n

A fundamental requirement for the effective functioning of democracy is access to the truth by a well informed electorate. Lying to the public has now become routine at the highest levels of our governance, and the world of \u2018secret knowledge\u2019, hidden from public view, yet critical for our citizenry to know and understand, has enormously increased. This reality threatens to tip our democracy toward authoritarian management.\u00a0 This seminar will trace the historical roots of public deception, from Plato\u2019s \u2018Noble Lie\u2019, through the beliefs of modern neo-conservative philosophers. Examples of lies that have brought the U.S. into war will be provided and options for improving public access to critically important knowledge presented and discussed.<\/p>\n
