Group polarization, crippled epistemology and deep politics

The paper discusses epistemic and political implications of group polarization, a phenomenon when individuals, after deliberation with like- minded citizens, start adopting a more extreme versions of their original beliefs. It builds upon Cass Sunstein's work and uses results from many empirical studies to show that crippled epistemology endangers political legitimacy and the stability of democratic systems.
