Finding the Truth: the method | Attic Philosophy

Telling what’s true from what’s false can be really hard, particularly when we’re trying to find facts about controversial issues on the internet & social media. There’s no magic formula, but there are some good rules of thumb for testing whether information is likely to be reliable. In this video, I show how to put these rules into practise, through some real-world cases.
