Description
The role of experts and their expertise has become increasingly important in our personal and social lives. Scientific disinformation is prevalent, and expert advice is needed to tackle complex social problems. This book brings together philosophers, sociologists, and policy experts to discuss the nature, scope, and limitations of expert advice in policy decisions. The chapters collected here address fundamental questions about the role of experts, including definitions of expertise, the objectivity of expert judgements, and the trustworthiness of experts. These explorations highlight the complexities of these issues but also provide a roadmap for addressing them. Originally published in Social Epistemology: A Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Policy, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges of expert advice in modern democracies. By examining the role of experts in policy decisions, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved.
