Professor Michael Patrick Lynch of the University of Connecticut’s Philosophy Department was featured in a front-page New York Times news analysis by Senior White House Correspondent Peter Baker.
The article highlights Professor Lynch’s new book, On Truth in Politics, and explores the importance of truth and information in democratic societies. You can read more about the book by clicking here.
“Democracy can’t realistically exist without reliable epistemic infrastructure,” Lynch says in the piece. “Anti-democratic, authoritarian leaders know this. That is why they will seize every opportunity to control sources of information.”
Huge congratulations on this recognition and achievement, Michael!!
