Social epistemology has been flourishing in recent years, expanding
and making connections with political philosophy, virtue
epistemology, philosophy of science, and feminist philosophy. The
philosophy of the social world too is flourishing, with burgeoning
work in the metaphysics of the social world, collective
responsibility, group action, and group belief. The new
philosophical vista now more clearly presenting itself is
collective epistemology-the epistemology of groups and
institutions. Groups engage in epistemic activity all the
time-whether it be the active collective inquiry of scientific
research groups or crime detection units, or the evidential
deliberations of tribunals and juries, or the informational efforts
of the voting population in general-and yet in philosophy there is
still relatively little epistemology of groups to help explore
these epistemic practices and their various dimensions of social
and philosophical significance. The aim of this book is to address
this lack, by presenting original essays in the field of collective
epistemology, exploring these regions of epistemic practice and
their significance for Epistemology, Political Philosophy, Ethics,
and the Philosophy of Science.
