This project aims to discover critically-needed understandings of the social causes and consequences of ‘fake news’. It will do this by investigating and mapping the relationship between ‘epistemic vices’ and people’s acceptance of misinformation and disinformation (e.g. conspiracy theories). It will bring together approaches from experimental philosophy, natural language processing, social network analysis, and normative reflection to provide new insights regarding distrust and intellectual vice, thus significantly advancing knowledge of the ‘dark side’ of social epistemology. Results will lead to urgently required guidance regarding the features of social networks that exacerbate or buffer against the manifestation of these vices.

这个项目的目的是发现人们对“假新闻”的社会原因和后果的迫切需要的理解。它将通过调查和绘制人们对错误信息和虚假信息(例如阴谋论)的接受之间的关系来实现这一点。它将汇集实验哲学、自然语言处理、社会网络分析和规范反思的方法，以提供关于不信任和智力缺陷的新见解，从而显著提高对社会认识论“黑暗面”的认识。结果将导致迫切需要关于加剧或缓冲这些恶习表现的社交网络特征的指导。
