I recorded an episode of #AGoodRead for @bbcradio4.bsky.social a few weeks back, picking a book that meant something to me. It could only be one about the dramas and adventures of living in the field with primates, right…

This book is older than I am and is a little fragile these days (but still just as good).

“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”

"Social epistemology isn’t social. It’s not even epistemology. It’s an irresistible opening; at least, I failed to resist it."

Excellent work by @neillevy.bsky.social

Open Access: doi.org/10.1080/0020...

🧵
ABSTRACT The social turn in epistemology was driven, in important part, by the recognition that we are dependent on testimony for much of our knowledge. But this dependence renders us vulnerable if we are unable to distinguish reliable testimony from unreliable. With the debate over echo chambers as a case study, I argue that social epistemology remains deeply individualist: it is driven by the search for individualistic foundations by reference to which we can assess testimony for and by ourselves. I argue that this search for individualistic foundations is a fantasy: our capacity to assess the reliability of evidence and informants is constituted by the dispositions that are constitutive of our echo chambers. Social epistemology must finally be truly social, and live with the vulnerability that comes from epistemic dependence.
