PHIL0181: Epistemology and Contemporary Society (21/22)
This is an intermediate-level module designed to introduce students to the
burgeoning field of Applied Epistemology. We will use philosophical
theories about knowledge, justification and belief-formation to explore
pressing societal issues, such as online echo-chambers, conspiracy
theories, and the way that power structures and human bias affect the flow
of information. The course will be assessed by essay, and you will have
the chance to write a formative essay as well.
