Analyzing Social Knowledge argues for both socialized and naturalized epistemology. J. Angelo Corlett takes social epistemology in a new direction, applying the findings of experimental cognitive psychology to theories of social knowledge. Corlett analyzes social knowlegde in terms of group belief, individual belief, truth, justification, coherence, and reliability and responsibility. He provides a critique of leading theories of social knowledge and defends his analysis against respected criticisms of naturalized epistemology. The far-reaching implications of Analyzing Social Knowledge will interest epistemoloogists, philosophers of the mind, and cognitive psychologists.

Corlett has provided an account of analytic social epistemology that should meet the objections of most analytic philosophers without losing the interest of the sociologists and psychologists who have made social epistemology such a vibrant enterprise. This is probably the best primer in analytic social epistemology currently available.

Corlett tackles a topic that needs more attention within analytic epistemology, our ascriptions of knowledge and belief to groups of people as opposed to individuals. It is to be hoped that the book will stimulate further discussion of a topic germane to many disciplines.
