Dear all, this is to remind you that Quassim Cassam is giving a talk entitled "How To Be a Political Epistemologist" to which the WFAP warmly invites you. When? This Wednesday, 1pm - 2.30pm Where? HS 3A, NIG, Universitätsstraße 1, 1010 Vienna Abstract: One of the fastest growing areas of philosophy today is political epistemology. In my lecture, I will discuss the extent to which its leading figures operate in an epistemic bubble or echo chamber. I will draw on Kusch's conception of a sociology of philosophical knowledge to investigate the background assumptions, concerns, ideologies, and master narratives of mainstream political epistemologists. I will propose a class-based analysis of political epistemology and explore the suggestion that this field's major preoccupations are essentially the preoccupations of what Musa Al-Gharbi calls 'symbolic capitalists'. I will conclude with a plea for a more diverse and self-critical approach to political epistemology. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
