Extrasensory Perception

524
Extrasensory perception, or ESP, suggests the ability to perceive events beyond the conventional senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Parapsychologists, who research ESP and related psychic phenomena, categorize ESP into three main types: precognition, telepathy, and clairvoyance.
Precognition involves foreseeing future events, such as predicting an accident before it happens. An example of precognition could be someone dreaming about a specific event, like a car crash, which then occurs...

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Science
  • Epistemology
  • Expertise Studies

Background:

  • Epistemic trespassing, where experts overstep their knowledge boundaries, is a growing concern.
  • Existing analyses of epistemic trespassing have limitations in fully explaining its ethical and epistemic wrongness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate existing analyses of epistemic trespassing.
  • To propose a novel social analysis of epistemic trespassing that addresses identified limitations.
  • To establish criteria for a comprehensive understanding of epistemic trespassing.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing philosophical accounts of epistemic trespassing.
  • Development of a social analysis focusing on expert authority and novice vulnerability.
  • Evaluation of the proposed account against four key desiderata.

Main Results:

  • Identified limitations in seminal analyses of epistemic trespassing.
  • Proposed a social analysis defining epistemic trespassing as an abuse of expert authority that neglects novice vulnerabilities.
  • Demonstrated how this analysis meets the criteria for explaining the wrongness of trespassing, even when unacknowledged, and accounts for differences between trespassing types.

Conclusions:

  • Epistemic trespassing is fundamentally an abuse of expert authority, exploiting the vulnerabilities of those with less expertise.
  • A social analysis provides a robust framework for understanding the ethical and epistemic harms of epistemic trespassing.
  • This approach clarifies why trespassing is wrong, irrespective of the trespasser's awareness, and differentiates between various forms of misconduct.
