Investigating Conspiracy Theoires : Introduction to the Special Issue

Dentith, M ; Duetz, Julia and Tsapos, Melina LU (2024) In Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy p.1-9
Abstract
This introduction to this special issue of Inquiry looks at recent work in the philosophy of conspiracy theory theory. Looking at two related worries expressed in the wider conspiracy theory theory (the academic study of conspiracy theories) – the Problem of Conspiracy Theories and the Problem of Conspiracy Theorists – this special issue argues that recent work in the philosophy of conspiracy theories is getting all the more closer to not just an epistemic understanding of what, if anything, is wrong with belief in conspiracy theories, but also a framework for both investigating conspiracy theories and understanding how we should talk about the beliefs of conspiracy theorists.
