Routledge - The Epistemology of Group Disagreement Book

Explore the complex dynamics of collective thought with The Epistemology of Group Disagreement, part of the Routledge Studies in Epistemology series. While traditional debates often focus on individual peer disagreement, this volume shifts the focus to how disagreement functions within and between groups. This collection brings together expert philosophers to investigate the nature and normativity of group disagreement. It addresses the common phenomenon of ascribing views, beliefs, and judgments to groups, bridging the gap between the ontology of groups and existing epistemological literature. By examining both intra-group and inter-group disagreements, this book provides a necessary expansion of how we understand intellectual conflict in real-world, complex settings. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in how collective entities navigate conflicting perspectives.
