Call for Papers "When Difference Makes a Difference: Epistemic Diversity and Dissent" 3rd Annual Conference EPISTEME: A Journal of Social Epistemology University of Toronto Toronto (Canada) 2-3 June 2006
The focus of this year's meeting, which will be run as a workshop, is a cluster of questions about the epistemic implications of diversity among knowers and the epistemic functions of dissent within and between communities of knowers. What constitutes epistemically relevant diversity and epistemically appropriate dissent? How does social and cultural, as well as cognitive, difference enrich the resources of an epistemic community? When is dissent productive, and why?
