Re: Epistemological Revolution (Chris et Al)

[Antonio Rossin <rossin(at)tin.it>]

Well said, Chris.

But democracy, in each country, is a matter of voters' percentage.

What about, then if a country's majority abdicate to their right-duty

of verifying policies-proposals-social theories, and delegate some

representative authority of their own for this verifying task? Leading

to a collective practice to be consequently followed ?

It does not matter if such a representative authority is a religious

or a scientific or a political one.  What matters, it is that such a

practice is substantially undemocratic, and the (epistemological)

procedure leading to it must be exposed, if we wanted to defeat

the current Representative Democracy people's majority in a

given country (perhaps not in yours).
