In contrast to an epistemological focus on an isolated knower confronting a fixed set of evidence, social epistemology attempts to make room both for the social practices that promote knowledge and those that obscure it. The broader purview offered by social epistemology opens up opportunities for philosophers interested in medical knowledge to discuss topics such as the role of consensus conferences, continuing medical education, and industry funding. It promises to be an exciting avenue of philosophic inquiry and one that is rapidly taking shape; above all, this workshop is intended to bring together those working at this intersection in order to share our projects, learn from each other, and build a community of scholarship.
