Biography
Chris Ranalli is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam). His research is primarily in epistemology. He also has research interests in philosophy of mind, ethics, and social philosophy. He is a core member of the European Research Council's (ERC) ‘Extreme Beliefs’ research group.
"Citizens need to be educated but not indoctrinated if our political and epistemic ideals are to be realised. Chris Ranalli helps us understand the nature and harms of indoctrination and in doing so offers a major new contribution to virtue and political epistemology. In his rich and engaging book, he offers clear insights for all those concerned with the messy relationships between politics, education, and epistemology."
