Abstract

Network epistemology is a growing field which studies the relationship between social network structure and belief. The field draws on work from many disciplines, including computer science, economics, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, and sociology. While the conclusions of the field suggest that the relationship between network structure and belief is quite complex, there are a few general lessons that can be drawn. This chapter discusses what is known, and where fruitful new interdisciplinary work could help expand our understanding.
