The viral diffusion of false information in the public sphere is commonly perceived to be a dramatic challenge to democracy (Chambers 2021). A recent philosophical literature has therefore developed, asking what exactly is fake news (Croce and Piazza 2021), whether it is a new phenomenon (Pepp, Michaelson, and Sterken 2019), and whether it is attributable to individuals or to structural conditions (Rini 2017). This Panel examines the political nature of digitally disseminated fake news, zooming in on the vexed relationship between truth and politics (Sleat 2007), as well as free speech and politics (Leiter 2022). The Panel will question to what extent liberal democracies need a common background of factual beliefs for stability, or whether they benefit from free disagreement about matters of facts.
