This is the first book to explore the connections and interactions
between social epistemology and epistemic relativism. The essays in
the volume are organized around three distinct philosophical
approaches to this topic: 1) foundational questions concerning deep
disagreement, the variability of epistemic norms, and the
relationship between relativism and reliabilism; 2) the role of
relativistic themes in feminist social epistemology; and 3) the
relationship between the sociology of knowledge, philosophy of
science, and social epistemology. Recent trends in social
epistemology seek to rectify earlier work that conceptualized
cognitive achievements primarily on the level of isolated
individuals. Relativism insists that epistemic judgements or
beliefs are justified or unjustified only relative to systems of
standards-there is not neutral way of adjudicating between them. By
bringing together these two strands of epistemology, this volume
offers unique perspectives on a number of central epistemological
questions. Social Epistemology and Relativism will be of interest
to researchers working in epistemology, feminist philosophy, and
the sociology of knowledge.
