This article proposes to analyze the phenomena of post-truth and conspiracy as part of a new regime of rationality. Its causes, both political and epistemological, are producing radical changes in the way we debate and in our relationship to reason. Based on a pedagogical exercise around the "conspiracy of the moon", the article aims to show how the tools of rhetoric can help citizens to better understand all these phenomena.
