The field of epistemology is undergoing significant changes.
Primary among these changes is an ever growing appreciation for the
role social influences play on one's ability to acquire and assess
knowledge claims. Arguably, social epistemology's greatest
influence on traditional epistemology is its stance on
de-centralizing the epistemic agent. In other words, its
practitioners have actively sought to dispel the claim that
individuals can be solely responsible for the assessment,
acquisition, dissemination, and retention of knowledge. This view
opposes traditional epistemology, which tends to focus on the
individual's capacity to form and access knowledge claims
independent of his or her relationship to society. Social
Epistemology and Epistemic Agency is an essential resource for
academics and students who ask, "in what manner does society
engender its members with the ability to act as epistemic agents,
what actions constitute epistemic agency, and what type of beings
can be epistemic agents?"
