Social epistemology is the study of how social processes influence the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. It examines how groups, communities, and institutions contribute to what we consider knowledge, emphasizing the role of social interactions in shaping our understanding of truth and belief. This field explores various factors, such as trust, authority, and communication, that affect knowledge-sharing. It also considers how social media and technology impact our beliefs and the spread of information, highlighting the importance of collective inquiry and collaboration in the pursuit of knowledge.
