Epistemological issues have become increasingly significant in our political lives, as it has become increasingly challenging to discern legitimate sources of evidence, misinformation spreads rapidly, and the role of truth in politics has been questioned. Consequently, political discourse is saturated with epistemic notions such as post-truth, fake news, truth decay, echo chambers, and alternative facts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolitical Epistemology brings together leading philosophers to explore the ways in which the analytic and conceptual tools of epistemology can contribute to political philosophy and vice versa. The book is organized around three broad themes: truth and knowledge in politics, epistemic problems for democracy, and disagreement and polarization. The contributors offer fresh and insightful perspectives on topics such as propaganda, fake news, weaponized skepticism, belief polarization, political disagreement, the epistemic value of democracy, voter ignorance, irrationality in politics, and identity politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA fundamental premise underlying the development of political epistemology is that progress on certain foundational issues in both political philosophy and epistemology requires sharing insights across fields, beyond a certain point. This book will serve as a foundational text for philosophers, political scientists, and political psychologists for years to come, as it provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of political epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 650g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 162 x 28 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780192893338\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100541677818,"sku":"9780192893338","price":97.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646151665683_book.jpg?v=1646911826","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/political-epistemology-9780192893338","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
