“Truth, Expertise, and Democracy”
Michael Hannon and Elise Woodard with Jonathan Benson
Why are true beliefs essential for democracy? How can truth claims be weaponized for political domination? Are there objective political truths, and, if so, how are we to know them? What are the potential conflicts between democratic principles and expert authority? How are we to identify experts, and what are the various sources of scepticism about political expertise? Join us for a discussion of these, and many other, urgent contemporary questions. You can find out more and register here.
