Bschir, K.; Lohse, S.: Pandemics, policy, and pluralism: A Feyerabend-inspired perspective on COVID-19. In: Synthese : an international journal for epistemology, methodology and philosophy of science 200 (2022), Nr. 6, 441. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11229-022-03923-4
Abstract: | |
We analyse insufficient epistemic pluralism and associated problems in science-based policy advice during the COVID-19 pandemic drawing on specific arguments in Paul Feyerabend’s philosophy. Our goal is twofold: to deepen our understanding of the epistemic shortcomings in science-based policy during the pandemic, and to assess the merits and problems of Feyerabend’s arguments for epistemic pluralism as well as their relevance for policy-making. We discuss opportunities and challenges of integrating a plurality of viewpoints from within and outside science into policy advice thus contributing to discussions about normative issues concerning evidence and expertise in policy-making. | |
