  1. Epistemic Arguments for a Democratic Right to Silence.Dan Degerman & Francesca Bellazzi - 2024 - Philosophical Quarterly 74 (4):1137-1158.

Sophists, in particular, discovered that people’s inferences follow constant repeatable forms, that these forms have impact on choices and decisions concerning public good, and then by dominating them you dominate politics in democracy. With the (...)
