Social Dynamics and Collective Rationality

This issue collects ten papers selected from five international Copenhagen Lund Workshops in Social Epistemology, held between December 2010 and December 2012, that were made possible through a research grant to Vincent F. Hendricks and Erik J. Olsson by the Einar Hansen Research Fond and RQ8-funds from Lund University. Besides providing a platform for basic-level research, workshops focused on applied research related to social dynamics that lead group members to influence each other's beliefs and choices in ways that can produce not only suboptimal but genuinely catastrophic, and thus pathological, collective outcomes.
