Zusatztext "By articulating the power of attending tot he epistemic 'glue' underlying social networks, Epinets reveals the way in which social relationships become a rich substrate for cognition, belief, and evaluation in the world. This book persuades that together, appropriate measurement of social and epistemic ties will not only explain but anticipate many social phenomena beyond the current purview of network analysis . . . I highly recommend this book." Informationen zum Autor Mihnea C.

Klappentext Epinets presents a new way to think about social networks, which focuses on the knowledge that underlies our social interactions. Guiding readers through the web of beliefs that networked individuals have about each other and probing into what others think, this book illuminates the deeper character and influence of relationships among social network participants. Drawing on artificial intelligence, the philosophy of language, and epistemic game theory, Moldoveanu and Baum formulate a lexicon and array of conceptual tools that enable readers to explain, predict, and shape the fabric and behavior of social networks. With an innovative and strategically-minded look at the assumptions that enable and clog our networks, this book lays the groundwork for a leap forward in our understanding of human relations. Zusammenfassung Epinets fleshes out a new language for talking about the knowledge and beliefs that underpin communication in social networks. This book better enables readers to explain, predict, and intervene in the epistemic fabric of social interactions. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
