"This is a comprehensive and balanced introduction to political epistemology, impressive both for its breadth of coverage and the skill with which its authors reconstruct debates. It will be an excellent resource for students and scholars alike." - Sean Ingham, University of California San Diego, USA
"Hannon and Woodard have produced a truly excellent introduction to the new and exciting field of political epistemology. Are there political truths? Is political partisanship rational? What is the relationship between political knowledge and good citizenship? (How) can democracies harness the wisdom of crowds? If youve ever wondered about such questions, this book is for you. Written in a crisp and accessible way, it is ideal for undergraduate courses in philosophy or political science. But professional philosophers will get a lot out of the book too, because it sets the stage for several promising avenues for further research in the area." - Hrishikesh Joshi, University of Arizona, USA "This is a comprehensive and balanced introduction to political epistemology, impressive both for its breadth of coverage and the skill with which its authors reconstruct debates.
