Abstract

<https://youtu.be/P4UbVyQPouM> This YouTube video produced by Wireless Philosophy introduces Condorcet's Jury Theorem along with how the theorem has been used to make a case for democracy from an epistemic point of view. But there are also a number of other epistemic goods - goods like evidence, intellectual virtue, epistemic justice, and empathetic understanding - that democracies can benefit from producing as well. In your view, which epistemic good - truth, evidence, intellectual virtue, epistemic justice, or empathetic understanding - can be used to make the strongest case for democracy? In order to serve their citizens well, democracies must secure a number of epistemic goods. [Extracted from the article]
