Institutional Epistemology Workshop (INES) 2025

Institutional epistemology aims to understand the formal and informal aspects of social knowledge production, as well as the epistemic powers of institutions. The approach extends social epistemology by combining it with the perspectives of philosophy of science, social ontology, and political philosophy. Social knowledge production does not happen in an institutional vacuum. Focusing on the institutional rules and practices of epistemic institutions aims to uncover both the intended but also the unintended consequences of such practices. As social epistemologists have long argued, the boundary between social and cognitive is not clear. Institutional epistemology tries to take that point seriously.
