Riassunto
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.
Testo aggiuntivo
"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."
