Details

This incisive book reflects on the ethics of institutional belief, exploring the philosophy of social and legal institutions. Expert authors examine the deeds, beliefs, and collective attitudes of these institutions, in light of distinct ethical and epistemological approaches.

Contributors discuss historical and contemporary literature on the ethics of belief, epistemology, social ontology, and legal philosophy, shedding light on how these concepts interact with the self and society. Chapters analyze topics including reasoning in group contexts and transcendental arguments, and utilize empirical frameworks to explore the moral and practical concerns surrounding institutional reality, practices and modes of inquiry. Highlighting the complexity of these interactions, it suggests novel avenues for research while interrogating the fabric of group-designed societal structures.

Ethics of Institutional Beliefs is a fundamental resource for scholars and students of legal philosophy and theory, sociology and sociological theory, and social philosophy. This book is also of great interest to legal professionals and academics.
