Abstract
Since political polarization significantly impacts contemporary politics
and democracy, much of the research in the social sciences is dedicated to this
topic. In recent times, philosophers joined the discussion related to the research
on political polarization, primarily in the fields of political philosophy and political
epistemology. The main aim of this paper is philosophical analysis of some
dominant explanations of political polarization, but also to propose solutions for
a way out of political polarization from the perspective of political philosophy. In
a nutshell, to find solutions for a way out of political polarization, I will be looking
in the direction of boosting epistemic rationality and fostering communication
in conditions of tolerance and equality.
