ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this conversation, recorded on March 16, 2024, which is a follow-up to my previous podcast, philosopher Gloria Origgi elaborates the ideas in her book, Reputation: What it is and Why it Matters. In Part 1, I played her lecture on that subject from the Night of Philosophy 2019. Here we discuss the ideas and specific cases since that time in which reputation impacts our global lives.
Gloria Origgi is an Italian philosopher and social scientist based in Paris at the Institut Nicod, Ecole Normale Supérieure. In her research work, she tries to understand the impact of social relations and institutions on knowledge processes. She has worked extensively on the evaluation of knowledge and science.
