On account of this, we will start with a reflection on the media phenomenon designated as "post-truth", as a trigger for the revision of the old dichotomy between Plato and the Sophistic about the nature of truth and its implication in politics. Finally, we will consider the contribution of the Viennese epistemologist Paul Feyerabend with regard to the discussion on cultural relativism in order to position ourselves in a clearer and more justified perspective in the face of the challenges of contemporary Latin American politics, reviewing some concepts proposed by Laclau in his text "Debates and Fights". El siguiente trabajo se propone, en la medida de sus posibilidades y extensión, arrojar un poco de luz sobre la cuestión que comúnmente se enuncia como relativismo, y su supuesta trampa gnoseológica. En razón de esto vamos a partir de una reflexión en torno al fenómeno mediático designado como "posverdad", como disparador para la revisión de la antigua dicotomía entre Platón y la Sofística sobre la naturaleza de la verdad y su implicancia en la política. Finalmente consideraremos el aporte del epistemólogo vienés Paul Feyerabend a propósito de la discusión sobre el relativismo cultural para podernos posicionar en una perspectiva más clara y justificada frente a los desafíos de la política latinoamericana contemporánea, revisando algunos conceptos que propone Laclau en su texto "Debates y Combates".
