Michael Soupios
Join us for this special event with Professor Michael Soupios speaking about his newest book in which he discusses a very topical subject for today: “The Crisis of Truth in America.” This new book presents a sobering account of contemporary America’s anemic grasp of Truth. Specifically, it documents a variety of sources collectively contributing to a disturbing torrent of misconceptions and falsity. Unsurprisingly, much of the explanation for this truthless spate relates to factors of money and power. None of this is new in the sense that America has always had a copious supply of fraudsters and con men. What is new, however, is the ubiquity of social media which has every potential of blurring the line between fact and fiction on a societal-wide basis. The corruptive consequences of such an obfuscation are not difficult to see, given Truth’s status as the cornerstone of society’s legal, moral, and spiritual identity. Accordingly, Truth must never be approached in nominal terms – every viable culture must forcefully bear witness to Truth. Failure to do so potentially allows all manner of “BS” to become “credible” – including the counterfeit musings of hucksters and charlatans.
Books will be available for purchase and signing after the professor’s presentation.
