The idea of approaching epistemological concerns from a social
perspective is relatively new. For much of its history the
epistemological enterprise -- and arguably philosophy more
generally -- has been cast along egocentric lines. Where a
non-egocentric approach has been taken, as in the recent work of
naturalist epistemologists, the focus has been on individuals
interacting with their environment rather than on the significance
of social interaction for an understanding of the nature and value
of knowledge.
The fifteen new essays presented in this volume aim to show the
fertility and variety of social epistemology and to set the agenda
for future research. They examine not only the well-established
topic of testimony, but also newer topics such as disagreement,
comprehension, the norm of trust, epistemic value, and the
epistemology of silence. Several contributors discuss
metaphilosophical issues to do with the nature of social
epistemology and what it can contribute to epistemology more
generally. Social Epistemology will be essential reading for anyone
interested in this fast-growing area of philosophy.
