Opis:This article is intended to critically analyze the role played by Costa Rican citizens in determining the current state of democracy in the country. The country’s political panorama has currently been disrupted by corruption and the phenomenon known as post-truth. It is therefore imperative to have critical citizens so that they can elect leaders on a more informed and rational basis. How can this be achieved? From the author´s perspective, through constant observation of the actual state of politics from every area of society; and more importantly, through a sound critical education beginning at an early age. Journalistic, legal, educational and philosophical texts about post-truth, democracy and Costa Rican education will be reviewed and discussed in this analysis, which concludes with a reflection on topics related to the title of this document.
