For years, news outlets in the UK have given Nigel Farage outsized attention, helping turn a ‘political outsider’ into one of the country’s most influential figures. But now he’s facing a more critical kind of coverage. Is UK media finally holding him to account? ▶️ youtu.be/T5CxhSGLm6g

Bitterly ironic that one of the key texts on the political function of the modern lie was written by the Franco-Russian Jewish philosopher, Alexandre Koyré, in 1943. (English in Contemporary Jewish Record, '45). The other key thinker being Hannah Arendt. They are spinning in their graves. 😭

Teaching slide:
To the right, a picture of the French cover of Koyré’s book: a white background, a small picture of entwined snakes in the middle right, and at the top the author's name in capitals; ALEXANDRE KOYRÉ in black, and the title; RÉFLEXIONS SUR LE MENSONGE in gold. Horizontally up from the right lower corner, the publishing house in small caps: Éditions Allia.

To the left:
The Modern Lie
Alexandre Koyré. The Political Function of the Modern Lie, 1943

"Never has there been so much lying as in our day. Never has lying been so shameless, so systematic, so unceasing."
Koyré 1.

"Why has self-deception become an indispensable tool in the trade of image-making, and why should it be worse, for the world as well as for the liar himself, if he is deceived by his own lies than if he merely deceives others? … If the modern political lies are so big that they require a complete rearrangement of the whole factual texture - the making of another reality, as it were, into which they will fit without seam, crack, or fissure, exactly as the facts fitted into their own original context, what prevents these new stories, images, and non-facts from becoming an adequate substitute for reality and factuality?"
Arendt 14.

(The Arendt ref is from her article Truth and Politics - https://german.yale.edu/sites/default/files/arendt.truth_and_politicslying_in_politics.pdf).
