What is Disinformation? A Modern Problem with Ancient Roots
In this video Professor Dan Lawrence provides a definition of disinformation and shows how it was central to the ancient Greek philosophers via the story of the Sophists. For thousands of years we've been wrestling with these questions. The answer that the ancient Greeks came up with was rhetoric and philosophy, two fields of thought, two arts that are now almost entirely missing in our public education.
