Postdigital epistemology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

This entry discusses epistemology with respect to the postdigital condition. It provides a necessarily simple overview of traditional and social epistemology, before discussing what postdigital epistemology means in online environments where distortions in knowledge practices and procedures can be difficult to detect and rectify. The procedures are the same as with offline epistemology, requiring research and digital literacy, the motivation to evaluate, verify, evaluate, compare, and contrast, and an open mind about the truth claims of any assertion or image.
