Do not fill this in! ===Social epistemology=== {{Main|Social epistemology}} Social epistemology deals with questions about knowledge in contexts where our knowledge attributions cannot be explained by simply examining individuals in isolation from one another, meaning that the scope of our knowledge attributions must be widened to include broader social contexts.<ref name="SEP epistemology-social"/> It also explores the ways in which interpersonal beliefs can be justified in social contexts.<ref name="SEP epistemology-social"/> The most common topics discussed in contemporary social epistemology are [[testimony]], which deals with the conditions under which a belief "x is true" that result from being told "x is true" constitutes knowledge; peer disagreement, which deals with when and how I should revise my beliefs in light of other people holding beliefs that contradict mine; and group epistemology, which deals with what it means to attribute knowledge to groups rather than individuals, and when group knowledge attributions are appropriate.<!--PLEASE EXPAND SOCIAL EPISTEMOLOGY SUBSECTIONS; DO NOT REMOVE ====Testimony==== ====Peer disagreement==== ====Group knowledge==== --> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
