Social Epistemology and Technology: Toward Public SelfAwareness Regarding Technological Mediation (Collective Studies in Knowledge and Society) - Softcover

Social Epistemology and Technology offers a crucial reflection on what makes us human and how contemporary societies are organizing that knowledge in new and powerful ways. This provocative collection allows readers to consider more deeply the ways we think, share, and work today. While some conclusions are chilling, their implications cannot be ignored. -- Chris J. Richardson, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Young Harris College An important contribution to the field of applied epistemology. -- David Coady, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Tasmania

This book examines the social epistemological issues relating to technology for the sake of providing insights toward public selfawareness and informing matters of education, policy, and public deliberation.
