Abstract

Writing in 2011, Philip Kitcher worried in ‘Public knowledge and its enemies’ that flaws in the dissemination of public knowledge would lead from a state of widespread ignorance to active resistance against expertise and more. Today, we seem to be living in the world Kitcher predicted, where a wide range of facts ranging from the results of democratic processes to public health information are deemed ‘fake’ by a significant part of the public. By engaging with Kitcher’s piece, this article discusses Kitcher’s states of ignorance, their implications, and how we may start addressing them.
“自己做研究吧!”虚假信息、无知和社交媒体
菲利普·基彻在2011年的《公共知识及其敌人》一书中担心,公共知识传播中的缺陷会导致从普遍的无知状态到对专业知识的积极抵制等等。今天,我们似乎生活在基彻预测的世界里,从民主进程的结果到公共卫生信息,一系列广泛的事实都被相当一部分公众视为“虚假”。通过参与Kitcher的文章,本文讨论了Kitcher的无知状态、它们的含义,以及我们如何开始解决它们。
