The Philosophy of Indoctrination: Epistemology, Ethics, and Politics: Routledge Studies in Epistemology

Autor Chris Ranalli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2024
This book develops and defends a novel social epistemological account of indoctrination. It answers important epistemological, ethical, and political questions about what indoctrination is, why it is epistemically harmful, how it can be practiced, and how we should talk about indoctrination.
The author presents three views related to the epistemology of indoctrination. First, he argues that indoctrination is most fundamentally a structural epistemic phenomenon which results in closed-minded beliefs. The sources of indoctrination are diverse: institutional structures, technological systems, ideological frames, and individual actions. What unites them is that they lead to the systematic failure to consider seriously the relevant alternatives to what we are taught, whether by accident or by design.  Second, he makes the case that indoctrination is always harmful because it disrespects agents in their capacity as epistemic agents, even when it results in true belief. Third and finally, he contends that public indoctrination-ascriptions are political propaganda; they function to promote a political agenda which can, ironically, breed the conditions for indoctrination rather than forestall it.
The Philosophy of Indoctrinationis an essential resource for researchers and advanced students working in social and political epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of education, and terrorism and radicalization studies.

Recenzii

"Citizens need to be educated but not indoctrinated if our political and epistemic ideals are to be realised. Chris Ranalli helps us understand the nature and harms of indoctrination and in doing so offers a major new contribution to virtue and political epistemology. In his rich and engaging book, he offers clear insights for all those concerned with the messy relationships between politics, education, and epistemology."
Ian James Kidd, University of Nottingham, UK
