About the author

Todor Hristov is a critical theorist based at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria.

Summary

Critical theory has developed tools able to conceive truth beyond knowledge and power, and hence to make sense of conspiracy theories. This book will try to organize them into a toolbox, which will enable students and researchers to analyze conspiracy theories as practices of the self geared at self-empowerment, a sort of political self-help.
