Opis

In light of the public nature of many of our most important disagreements, a key question emerges: How does public disagreement affect what we know? This volume of original essays addresses this question in its many diverse forms.

Recenzje

"This is a well-considered and lively collection of essays on the norms bearing on public disagreement. After the fall of 2016, with Brexit having passed in England and Donald Trump elected President of the United States, the question of what role protest and dissent plays in properly run public discourse became a pressing question for many academics. This book, then, is particularly timely . . . Social epistemologists, argumentation theorists, and political philosophers interested in deliberative democracy will find a great deal to appreciate in this volume." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
