This collection explores one of the most rapidly growing area of
philosophy: political epistemology. Epistemological issues are at
the center of our political lives. It has become increasingly
difficult to discern legitimate sources of evidence, misinformation
spreads faster than ever, and the role of truth in politics has
allegedly decayed in recent years. It is therefore no coincidence
that political discourse is currently saturated with epistemic
notions like "post-truth," "fake news," "truth decay," "echo
chambers," and "alternative facts." Political Epistemology brings
together leading philosophers to explore ways in which the analytic
and conceptual tools of epistemology bear on political philosophy,
and vice versa. It is organized around three broad themes: truth
and knowledge in politics; epistemic problems for democracy; and
disagreement and polarization. The contributors provide new and
rich insights on topics such as: propaganda, fake news, weaponized
skepticism, belief polarization, political disagreement, the
epistemic value of democracy, voter ignorance, irrationality in
politics, and identity politics. A premise underlying the
development of political epistemology is that progress on certain
foundational issues in both political philosophy and epistemology
cannot be achieved without sharing insights across fields, beyond a
certain point. This will be a foundational text for philosophers,
political scientists, and political psychologists for years to
come.
