Hannah Arendt in her best known book "The Roots of Totalitarianism" writes not only about Nazism and Stalinism, but looks at mechanisms that make totalitarianism even possible.
It besides shows how a political lie can dominate public space, destroying the ability to separate between fact and fiction. In times of disinformation, polarization and social media, her diagnosis takes on a fresh meaning.
Sylwia Góra – head of literary department – talks about this with Tomasz Terlikowski – doctor of philosophy, journalist, translator, writer, writer RMF FM, author of many books, among others: “Only the fact will set us free”, “Church (for) lost”, “Franciszek Blachnicki. The priest who changed Poland, “The end of the Church as you know it”, “Does conservatism have a future? The end of Europe as we know it" and together with Karolina Wigura: "Polish atheist versus Polish Catholic. Eleven Worldview Disputes” issued by Liberal Culture.
