Why We Believe our Own Lies?

From Lie in Politics to Political Myth

Abstract

This article analyzes the anthropological sources that can allow political lies to have a higher level of perpetuation. To achieve this objective, we will focus on three authors: Arendt, Blumenberg and Derrida; whit them we will see how the political lie is related to dimensions of assemblage and symbolic configurations that make difficult not only its detection but also its control and resistance.
