Social epistemology is a broad set of approaches to the study of
knowledge and to gain information about the social dimensions. This
intellectual movement of wide cross-disciplinary sources
reconstructs the problems of epistemology when knowledge is
considered to be intrinsically social. In the first chapter,
""Social Epistemology and Social Learning,"" Olivia Saracho and
Bernard Spodek discuss the social and historical contexts in which
different forms of knowledge are formulated based on the
perspective of social epistemology. They also discuss the emergence
of social epistemology, which guides researchers to investigate
social phenomena in laboratory and field settings. Social factors
""external"" to the appropriate business of science have a major
impact in the social studies researchers'= historical case studies.
Thus, social studies researchers may be considered social
epistemologists, because (a) they focus on knowledge of social
influences and (b) they infer epistemologically significant
conclusions from their sociological or anthropological research.In
addition, analyses indicate that studies of scientific paradigms
are basically a struggle for political power rather than reflecting
reliable epistemic merit. Social studies researchers focus on
knowledge of social influences on knowledge, which is analogous to
the knowledge of the social epistemologists. They also use their
sociological or anthropological research to infer epistemologically
significant conclusions.
