This is the first edited scholarly collection devoted solely to the
epistemology of democracy. Its fifteen chapters, published here for
the first time and written by an international team of leading
researchers, will interest scholars and advanced students working
in democratic theory, the harrowing crisis of democracy, political
philosophy, social epistemology, and political epistemology. The
volume is structured into three parts, each offering five chapters.
The first part, Democratic Pessimism, covers the crisis of
democracy, the rise of authoritarianism, public epistemic vices,
misinformation and disinformation, civic ignorance, and the lacking
quantitative case for democratic decision-making. The second part,
Democratic Optimism, discusses the role of hope and positive
emotions in rebuilding democracy, proposes solutions to myside
bias, and criticizes dominant epistocratic approaches to forming
political administrations. The third and final part, Democratic
Realism, assesses whether we genuinely require emotional empathy to
understand the perspectives of our political adversaries, discusses
the democratic tension between mutual respect for others and a
quest for social justice, and evaluates manifold top-down and
bottom-up approaches to policy making.
