Zusammenfassung:
This book introduces readers to a fresh approach in philosophy called "hinge epistemology," originally developed to explain how we justify our everyday beliefs and to respond to radical skepticism. It expands this framework into real-world issues, showing how our most basic assumptions--our "hinges"--shape social life and knowledge. The book explores topics such as trust, testimony, deep disagreement, conspiracy theories, and psychiatric delusions, as well as issues of justice, gender, and even trust in artificial intelligence. Accessible yet rigorous, it demonstrates how philosophy can illuminate pressing challenges in contemporary society.
