How Propaganda Works: An Introduction
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This is the editor’s introduction to the book symposium on Jason Stanley’s influential book How Propaganda Words (Oxford University Press, 2015). After a few brief remarks situating the book in the landscape of current analytic philosophy, I offer a detailed presentation of each chapter of the book, in order to familiarize the reader with its main tenets and with the author’s argumentative strategy. I flag the issues that the contributors to the symposium discuss, and describe their main points. I end with expressing hope that the symposium will help continue the conversation around ideology and propaganda within analytic philosophy.
