Knowledge in a social world

Front Cover
1 Review
Oxford University Press on Demand, 1999 - Philosophy - 407 pages
Knowledge in a Social World offers a philosophy for the information age. Alvin Goldman explores new frontiers by creating a thoroughgoing social epistemology, moving beyond the traditional focus on solitary knowers. Social, cultural, and technological changes present new challenges to our ways of knowing and understanding, and philosophy must face these challenges. Against the tides of postmodernism and social constructionism Goldman defends the integrity of truth and shows how to promote it by well-designed forms of social interaction. He urges that social discourse promises more than the mere politics of consensus, and that suitably norm-governed debate and belief-revision can increase veridical knowledge.

User Review  - manwithoutqualities - Goodreads

This is the book that made SE respectable (well sort of) to analytic philosophy. A bit too verbose but a classic in the genre. Read full review
