Annotation: 

It is often claimed that we live in a post-truth age where people have become suspicious of all truth claims, while conspiracy theories and misinformation thrive. These claims are often followed by laments about levelling, relativism, and nihilism. According to its etymology, philosophy means the love of wisdom or we might say the love of truth. If we live in a post-truth age, is there any room left for philosophy? What is the meaning of philosophy in such an age? Does philosophy face a crisis with the lapse of belief in the truth?
