\nAbstract:<\/strong> It is substantiated that along with the growth of the role of science in all spheres of life, as well as with the spread of globalization processes, pluralism, and multiculturalism, the assessment of scientific knowledge should include not only logical-epistemological, semantic criteria, but also existential meanings and values, general historical, cultural, political interests and traditions, as well as sociotechnical ideas about the desired future of humanity, which play a performative role. At the same time, the assessment of scientific knowledge is interpreted as truth, as well as post-truth, and post-factuality. The latter is because socio-technical images of the future are oriented toward changes, constancy is changeability, and uncertainty, and the future is desired, modeled, and constructed by a \u201cworking artifact\u201d.\u00a0 Sociotechnical representations are increasingly shaped by technology companies, their interests, business models, and public rhetoric. The latter is often accompanied by the growth of distrust in expert opinion, the involvement of \u201calternative experts\u201d, the devaluation of education and professionalism, the weakening of critical thinking, rejection of alternative opinions or, on the contrary, the relativization of truth. The above-mentioned trends contribute to creating a situation for which the concept of \u201cpost-truth\u201d began to be used for characterization purposes. It is shown that in this case the concept of \u201cpost-truth\u201d acquires a multifaceted meaning: from statements about the absence or loss of truth, leveling of facts, and to an attempt to justify its importance as a sign of the newest form of science\u00a0\u2014 technoscience. In the latter case, the performative function of post-truth is essential as a means of initiating creative scientific research, non-standard thinking, ways of developing cognitive creativity and technical construction of the future, and realization of socio-technical ideas about the image of the future. Although in the case of such a perception, one should pay attention to the fact that the future is never determined in advance, even in the case of its techno-scientific construction, and also carries the danger of certain risks. Identifying and eradicating negative manifestations of post-truth is a necessary task of science and education.<\/p>\n\n
