Paul Boghossian

Paul Boghossian is a philosopher known for his work in social epistemology, which studies how social processes influence knowledge and belief systems. He questions how factors like culture, language, and social interactions shape our understanding of truth and knowledge. Boghossian argues against the idea that knowledge is entirely subjective, emphasizing the importance of objective reasoning. He explores the implications of these ideas for areas like relativism, disagreement, and the nature of justification in knowledge claims, contributing to broader discussions about how societies come to know and understand the world.
