Abstract

Interest in social epistemology and work in this area have exploded in recent years with the publication of a vast quantity of exciting and wholly new research on a broad range of topics. This handbook provides new work on some of the most cutting-edge and important issues in this fertile and rapidly growing area of philosophy. While some of the chapters contribute to, and further develop, lines of inquiry in social epistemology that are already deep and active, others open up entirely new avenues of research. All of the contributions aim to highlight the relevance and importance of the social world to some of the most pressing epistemological questions facing us as agents in the world.
