Applied epistemology brings the tools of contemporary epistemology
to bear on particular issues of social concern. While the field of
social epistemology has flourished in recent years, there has been
far less work on how theories of knowledge, justification, and
evidence may be applied to concrete questions, especially those of
ethical and political significance. This volume fills this gap in
the current literature by bringing together leading philosophers in
a broad range of areas in applied epistemology. The potential
topics in applied epistemology are many and diverse, and this
volume focuses on seven central issues, some of which are general
while others are far more specific: epistemological perspectives;
epistemic and doxastic wrongs; epistemology and injustice;
epistemology, race, and the academy; epistemology and feminist
perspectives; epistemology and sexual consent; and epistemology and
the internet. Some of the chapters in this volume contribute to,
and further develop, areas in social epistemology that are already
active, while others open up entirely new avenues of research. All
of the contributions aim to make clear the relevance and importance
of epistemology to some of the most pressing social and political
questions facing us as agents in the world.
