Abstract

Abstract The introduction explains the importance and relevance of the topic by starting with some case studies (e.g., engineered climate change denialism, ag-gag laws). It discusses why political-economic causes, above and beyond explanations that point to “the internet,” need to be taken into account, situates the book within the field of “political epistemology,” an emerging field of enquiry that brings together arguments from epistemology and philosophy of science, as well as political philosophy, to address problems in the relation between politics and knowledge. It also describes the book’s interdisciplinary approach and methodology, and summarizes the main points by means of a chapter preview.
