By "social thinking" I mean social epistemology: thinking with others on the small scale to the large scale.

Topics:

  • Trust and trustworthiness.

  • Smaller scale social epistemology: disagreement, testimony, expertise, rumors, gossip.

  • Larger scale social epistemology: distributed cognition, epistemic states of groups and collectives (e.g. collective understanding/wisdom/decision making), scientific communities, political systems, legal systems, markets.

  • History of philosophy: Socratic dialogue, Endoxa, Medieval Obligationes, Republic of Letters, Gadamer.

  • Related areas: books from the human sciences (economics, psychology, etc.), social ontology, mindshaping, animal communication/societies among different species, assemblage theory.

  • Wonderous aspects: witnesses to miracles, dancing contagions, the theoroi in Ancient Greece, Chinese "anomaly accounts," Kunstkammer.
