Socializing Epistemology: The Social Dimensions of Knowledge: Studies in Epistemology and Cognitive Theory

Autor Frederick F. Schmitt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 1994
In this wide-ranging collection of never before published essays, distinguished scholars in the fields of philosophy and economics examine such questions as whether testimony is a basic source of knowledge, the degree to which notions of a good argument are determined by speakers and their audiences, the role of individual biases in the development of science, and the social aspects of group belief and group justification. The collection ends with the first comprehensive bibliography of social epistemology.

Recenzii

Is knowledge produced by rational individuals struggling mightily to unearth the objective facts? Or is it a wholly social product, reflecting interests and social structures, divorced from the world? It is a bit of each-but the trick is to integrate the rational and the social into a seamless whole. This splendid volume goes a very long way in generating a unified outlook.
The topic is novel and important, the set of authors outstanding, the collection coherent. An excellent book.
Superb editing and an unusual number of high-quality contributions make this an excellent introduction to the subject. I enthusiastically recommend it.
. . . this is a very useful volume, filling a gap in epistemological analysis . . . the articles go considerable distance in suggesting lines of inquiry for gaining a fuller understanding of knowledge as having both individual and social aspects.
This collection points to many new research areas in epistemology and will give the reader a feel for the excitement surrounding epistemology in its new naturalistic guise.
