This commitment to democracy in explanatory practice ensures a maximum of explanation-seeking questions are answered. Thus, attending to the interests of explainees requires democratizing explanatory practice. I hope it's helpful! 6/7

I illustrate how these benefits are (or aren't) realized in the social sciences and analyze the conditions for successful collective inquiry. Finally, I present a Dewey-inspired account where scientists engage in a continuing, inclusive dialogue with the public(s). 5/7

Third, having a plurality is one thing; another is cultivating it to reap epistemic benefits, like enabling mutual criticism, avoiding constellations in which uncovering errors or partiality is impossible, as well as maximizing the number of explanation-seeking questions that can be answered. 4/7

The pertinence and usefulness of explanation-seeking questions and answers depend on the publics to whom they are addressed. Second, to address the different explanatory interests of various publics, science needs a plurality of explanatory formats. 3/7

The only one that should be grateful is Putin. It is no "peace plan", it is a capitulation plan.

Het is niet ongebruikelijk voor dictators die hun populariteit zien afnemen om ergens oorlogje te gaan spelen (teneinde een ‘rally around the flag’ effect te creëren). Trump naar gewoonte weer superbasaal.
