Democratic Problem-Solving

- Dialogues in Social Epistemology

Bag om Democratic Problem-Solving

To what extent is neoliberalism undermining democracy and distorting the values of science? Can and should science be treated as an exemplar for a more dialogic democracy? Are universities and public intellectuals able to develop a more dialogically engaged public? What role is there for religion in a (post-)secular public sphere? Does information technology present a potential to enhance democracy or increase the control and manipulation of knowledge and the public? How are political and economic elites shaping the production and consumption of knowledge? This timely volume explores these pressing questions, in a dialogue based on developing and applying philosophies that stress the importance of dialogue, democracy and criticism. The debate contributes to a re-reading of Karl Popper, centring on the recovery of the ''critical Popper'' and his relationship to other thinkers.
