Political Epistemology Beyond Democratic Theory
Jeffrey Friedman’s Power Without Knowledge builds a critical epistemology of technocracy, rather than a democratic argument against it. For its democratic critics, technocracy is illegitimate because it amounts to the rule of cognitive elites, violating principles of mutual respect and collective self-determination. For its proponents, technocracy’s legitimacy depends on its ability to use reliable knowledge to solve social and economic problems.…
Against Epistocracy
In Against Democracy, Jason Brennan argues that public ignorance undermines the legitimacy of democracy because, to the extent that ignorant voters make bad policy choices, they harm their own and one another's interests. The solution, he thinks, is epistocracy, which would leave policy decisions largely in the hands of social-scientific experts or voters who pass tests of political knowledge. However, Brennan fails to explain why we should think…
Deliberative Democracy and the Systemic Turn
According to Jonathan Kuyper, deliberative democratic theory, having taken a “systemic turn,” is now better able to deal with the complexity of the real world. Central to this development is the democratic “division of epistemic labor,” under which experts, public servants, and the politically engaged may compensate for the relative ignorance of democratic citizens at large. However, the systemic turn raises the question of whether deliberation h…
Getting Democratic Priorities Straight
Jack Knight and James Johnson argue in The Priority of Democracy that democracy should be theorized and justified pragmatically: Democratic deliberations should be given a central coordinating role in society not because they realize any particular abstract ideal, but because they would elicit the information needed to solve real-world problems. However, Knight and Johnson rely on a naïve economic understanding of knowledge that assumes implausib…
Looking But Not Seeing
Ilya Somin's Democracy and Political Ignorance represents a missed opportunity to fully examine the implications of public ignorance in modern democracies. Somin persuasively argues that existing levels of public ignorance undermine the main normative accounts of democratic legitimacy, and he demonstrates that neither cognitive shortcuts nor heuristics can provide a quick fix for democracy. However, Somin seeks to find a simple explanation for pu…
Democracy and Epistocracy
In Democratic Reason, Hélène Landemore argues that deliberation and the aggregation of citizens' dispersed knowledge should tend to produce better consequences than rule by the one or the few. However, she pays insufficient attention to the epistemic processes necessary to realize these democratic goods. In particular, she fails to consider the question of where citizens' beliefs and ideas come from, with the result that the democratic decision m…
Democratic Deliberation in the Modern World
A industrialização brasileira e a dimensão geográfica dos estabelecimentos industriais
Em razão da predominância da produção voltada para a exportação de bens agrícolas, tais como açúcar, café e algodão, a industrialização brasileira no século XIX e na primeira metade do século XX foi parcial, tanto em seu conteúdo quanto em sua extensão geográfica. A expansão da economia do café e a chegada, no final do século XVII, de um novo e centralizado processo de transformação industrial da cana-de-açúcar sustentou a dominância da produção …
Retratando os avaliados nas áreas básicas da Capes em 2001
Este trabalho discute a base institucional para pesquisa nos programas brasileiros de pós-graduação, vista pela ótica dos programas membros da Anpur. A intenção é apresentar um retrato resumido das prioridades de pesquisa em cada programa, com base no Censo anual de dados e informações coletadas pela agência de fomento e de regulação do MEC – a Capes, responsável pela avaliação dos programas. As prioridades foram consideradas segundo as Linhas de…
O Urbanismo, a Medicina e a Biologia nas palavras e imagens da cidade
0 urbanismo - que surge como disciplina no século 19, institucionalizada no início do século 20 - tem recorrido reiteradamente à biologia para explicitar suas análises e técnicas de ação. Nas representações da cidade tornou-se freqüente as analogias com corpos vivos, partes de corpos, doenças e anomalias. Nas palavras da cidade e do urbanismo, termos da biologia são freqüentemente empregados, surgindo tanto nas técnicas de análise e intervenção q…
Notas sobre as tecnologias de cartografia - algumas implantações para o urbanismo das cidades coloniais no Brasil
O trabalho trata das imprecisões cartográficas que se acumulam a outras presentes nos primeiros registros do século 16 sobre a vida nas novas colônias sulamericanas. A introdução mostra inexatidões geográficas e representacionais relativas a assentamentos indígenas então existentes no atual estado de São Paulo. A parte seguinte discute problem as nas técnicas cartográficas da fase inicial dos Descobrimentos, relacionando-os à imprecisão da leitur…

Frank Lloyd Wright and the Passage to Fordism
Seldom has architecture been discussed within the Marxist tradition. Aesthetics, physical form and the labour process are here synthesised in an argument which draws on the Regulation Approach and prises the critique of Modernism away from the hands of experts in nostalgia such as Prince Charles
