Abstract
Expertise is a topic that is of tremendous contemporary significance, raising questions that stretch right across the philosophical spectrum. What is an expert? Who decides who the experts are? Should we always defer to experts? How should expertise inform public policy? What happens when the experts disagree? Must experts be unbiased? Should all experts be treated the same, or does it matter what the source of the expertise is? How should the testimony of experts be reported by the media? And so on. This volume brings together both leading and up-and-coming theorists of expertise to examine these issues. The papers in the volume are organized into six sections: expertise and trust; situated and group expertise; expertise and public policy; expertise and virtue; expertise about value; and new directions.
