How do we acquire knowledge? We tend to think that knowledge is produced by experts through established institutions, progressing over time towards a single truth. But Steve Fuller challenges this view, arguing that our contemporary “post-truth” order correctly recognises that the pursuit of knowledge is a socially dependent process, shaped by the communities that produce it. Steve Fuller is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick, and a founding figure in the field of social epistemology. He has authored dozens of books, including “Post-Truth: Knowledge as a Power Game”. Don’t hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!
