TRUTHS IN RUINS: ETHICAL-EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES IN TIMES OF INFORMATIONAL DISORDER

Resumo

Informational disorder, characterized by the proliferation of fake news, hate speech, and algorithmic manipulation, constitutes a profound threat to the democratic construction of knowledge and the critical formation of subjects. This chapter analyzes the impacts of this phenomenon on education, articulating philosophical and pedagogical reflections on truth, ethics, and autonomy. Through bibliographic research, it discusses the challenges faced by educators and students in a scenario where the boundaries between fact and opinion become blurred. It concludes that critical education, grounded in the ethics of dialogue and the valorization of autonomous thinking, is an essential path to resist the erosion of truth and foster emancipatory pedagogical practices.
