Epistemic communities: description and hierarchic categorization
Social scientists have shown an increasing interest in understanding the structure of knowledge communities, and particularly the organization of “epistemic communities”, that is groups of agents sharing common knowledge concerns. However, most existing approaches are based only on either social relationships or semantic similarity, while there has been roughly no attempt to link social and sem...
متن کاملEpistemic Circularity and Epistemic Incommensurability
If I were to believe you are trustworthy just on your say-so, my reasoning would be infected with what is called epistemic circularity. I would be supposing a source is trustworthy by relying on that very source. Generally speaking, we tend to think this is a very bad idea. It is why we don’t bother asking politicians or salesmen whether they are honest. A well-known line of reasoning stemming ...
متن کاملDynamics and Diversity in Epistemic Communities
Bruner (2017) shows that in cultural interactions, members of minority groups will learn to interact with members of majority groups more quickly—minorities tend to meet majorities more often as a brute fact of their respective numbers—and, as a result, may come to be disadvantaged in situations where they divide resources. In this paper, we discuss the implications of this effect for epistemic...
متن کاملDynamics and Diversity in Epistemic Communities
Academics and other researchers regularly engage in strategic interactions— bargaining, cooperation, collaboration, etc. Given this strategic setting, we ask: how do the dynamics of social learning in epistemic communities influence outcomes of various actors? We focus, in particular, on minority groups in academia. As we show, evolutionary game theoretic models indicate that such actors may be...
متن کاملEpistemic Principles , Epistemic Circularity and the Ultimate Epistemic Goal
In this work we investigate the feasibility of the project of showing that a certain kind of generalisations that philosophers call ‘Epistemic Principles’, which state conditions for the achievement of epistemic goods such as justifications and entitlements, fulfil general conditions for their correctness. First, we identify the veritistic commitments underlying the project; it is argued that s...
