Ignorance, norms and instrumental pluralism: Hayekian institutional epistemology. Zubčić, M. Synthese, October, 2019. ![Ignorance, norms and instrumental pluralism: Hayekian institutional epistemology [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Building on Friedrich A. Hayek’s work in social philosophy, the paper gives an account of the central role of ignorance in institutional epistemology. The first part of the paper argues that if individuals involved in the search for knowledge are constitutionally ignorant and guided by norms, as Hayek saw them, they are more likely to attain knowledge if they follow different norms, including those that are redundant. The second part of the paper argues that the market as an institutional arrangement, preferred by Hayek for its epistemic features, may lead to an epistemically detrimental reduction of agents following redundant norms.
