Zusammenfassung
The post-truth, defined as any information or assertion what isn’t based in objectives facts, but appealing to emotions, beliefs or public wants, is the concept resulting from the current postmodernity (or transmodernity according to some authors) which dates back to the last quarter of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, this article defends the antiquity of the concept and looking back to the past experiences a tour through several antecedent related to different scopes such as literature, policy or mass media. In this way it is possible to draw attention to the problem of the concept in the contemporaneity and the impact of advances in audiovisual communication and the virtual reality which make even more complicated the development of humankind's capacity for discerning between reality and fiction, between truth and lie.
