Alvin I Goldman Knowledge in a Social World 1999

This chapter is far from the final word on the social epistemology of education. But I do take it to establish the importance of social epistemology to the philosophy of education. As in science, law, politics, and all other sectors where information is critical to society, social epistemology should be a guiding force. At the edge of the twenty-first century, the age of information has not merely dawned; it is reaching its zenith. Veritistic social epistemology has an important role to play in this era.
