popping in here to share that my short book on science denial is forthcoming as part of the Cambridge Elements in Philosophy of Science series! (Preprint downloadable through the link) #sciencedenial #posttruth #posttrust philpapers.org/rec/CONSDP-2
I am delighted to share that my paper “Am I Trapped in an Echo Chamber? A Skeptical Argument for Epistemological Communitarianism” has now been accepted at *Episteme*. philpapers.org/rec/CONAIT-18
