4:44Now PlayingIn his book, A Manual for Creating Atheists, Peter Boghossian introduced Street Epistemology (SE) to the world nearly a decade ago. SE is a non-confrontational way to help people clarify what they believe and why they believe it. By asking Socratic-style questions, SE helps people calibrate the confidence in their beliefs to the reasons and evidence they have for holding those beliefs.
A movement formed around SE, with participants initially focused on engaging claims by religious fundamentalists. Since then, new forms of irrational thinking not bound to religious fundamentalism have emerged. These have been actively undermining our institutions.
When Peter developed SE, Critical Social Justice had not yet weaved its way into society. But the epistemological strategies and techniques he developed—and the SE community improved upon and added to—are just as timeless and relevant with this new epistemological threat as they were with older, more established belief systems.
This past Spring, Peter traveled to universities with a film crew for the Reverse Q&A Tour, and he and his team brought SE with them (Including famed Street Epistemologist Reid Nicewonder!) We’ve shared dozens of conversations from the tour over the last few months, and we still have a few behind-the-scenes videos that will be released. As we begin to wrap up this project, we want to give thanks to the Indiegogo supporters who made the Reverse Q&A possible.
A sincere thank you to everyone for your support in all its forms.
And now, put on your seatbelts! Peter’s next project is All Things Re-Considered, an in-depth analysis and humorous look at NPR’s coverage. It’s coming your way in October!
