Workshop: Skepticism and Social Epistemology, Haifa, April 8
You are invited to a workshop entitled "Skepticism and Social <br> Epistemology" that will take place at the Department of Philosophy <br> at the University of Haifa on Monday, April 8, 2019. <br> <br> Although skepticism is a central theme in epistemology, skepticism <br> is rarely dealt with in social epistemology. A rarely challenged <br> assumption in the epistemology of testimony is that subjects <br> normally acquire knowledge and justified belief from the testimony <br> of others. However, even if we can gain knowledge from <br> non-testimonial sources, such as perception and inference, there <br> might be special reasons why we cannot get knowledge or justified <br> belief from testimony. Our increasing reliance on technologically <br> and algorithmically mediated testimonies and phenomena such as fake <br> news may also cast doubts on our possibility of getting testimonial <br> knowledge in general or specific cases. The workshop talks address <br> these issues. <br> <br> The presenters in the workshop are Arnon Keren, Aviv Barnoy, Boaz <br> Miller, Bryan Frances, Maya Roman, Ori Freiman, and Sandy Goldberg. <br> <br> <br> Attendance is is free of charge, but prior registration is required. <br> <br> <br> You may see the full program and register to the workshop at http://philevents.org/event/show/71482 <br> or you can register by sending an email to boaz.m@zefat.ac.il. <br> <br> All Best, <br> Boaz Miller <br> -- <br> <br> Boaz Miller PhD, <br> MA, BSc <br> Senior Lecturer <br> Department of CIS <br> Zefat Academic College <br> http://boazmiller.comview formatted text
