The Open Handbook of Formal Epistemology
- Schiphol 7y agoThis is an open-access handbook on formal models in epistemology, edited and written by leading figures in the field. I thought it might be of interest to some of the more theoretically inclined HNers. This is a direct link to the pdf (it can be found on the main page, but it's somewhat hard to spot): https://philpapers.org/go.pl?id=PETTOH-2&u=https%3A%2F%2Fphilpapers.org%2Farchive%2FPETTOH-2.pdf https://philpapers.org/go.pl?id=PETTOH-2&u=https%3A%2F%2Fphi...
- mikece 7y agoHave there been any good epistemological studies on the impact of instant messaging and social media? I keep thinking of the book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” and wondering what the authors would have thought of smart phones and micro-burst communication tools like SMS, Twitter, and FB. Clearly it emphasizes the importance of the Sound Bite over fully exploring and developing ideas but I’m hopeful that the medium of podcasting, especially long-form interview podcasts like the Joe Rogan Show, could start to swing things back the other way.
- Schiphol 7y agoI can recommend Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread, by Cailin O'Connor and James Owen Weatherall. O'Connor precisely specializes in applications of formal models, game-theoretic typically, to problems of social epistemology.
