The role of experts and their expertise, in our personal and social
lives, has taken centre stage in the debates about our
post-COVID-19 world. Scientific disinformation is rife, and
expertise is badly needed to tackle highly complex social problems.
This book brings together philosophers, sociologists and policy
experts to discuss the nature, scope and limitations of expert
advice in policy decisions. The chapters collected here address
some of the most fundamental questions in the debate on the role of
experts. They explore, among others, the definitions of expertise,
the role of experts in modern democracies, the dilemma of choosing
between equally competent and qualified experts who cannot agree,
the objectivity of expert judgements, the relationship between
experts and novices in polarised social settings and the conditions
on the trustworthiness of experts. These explorations, by some of
the best- known academics working in the field, highlight the
complexities of the questions they address but also lay down a road
map for addressing them. The chapters in this book were originally
published in Social Epistemology: A Journal of Knowledge, Culture
and Policy.
