Edited by an international team of leading scholars, The Routledge Handbook of Social Epistemology is the first major reference work devoted to this growing field.

Historical Backgrounds








The Epistemology of Testimony








Disagreement, Diversity, and Relativism








Science and Social Epistemology








The Epistemology of Groups








Feminist Epistemology








The Epistemology of Democracy








Further Horizons for Social Epistemology










With lists of references after each chapter and a comprehensive index, this volume will prove to be the definitive guide to the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of social epistemology.
