Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the concept of epistemic vices, the book delves into how traits like closed-mindedness, intellectual arrogance, wishful thinking, and prejudice hinder our pursuit of knowledge. Through political examples, it examines personal responsibility for these failings and offers insights into potential remedies. The discussion invites readers to reflect on their own cognitive habits and the broader implications for society.
