Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Blake Rober. He is the Michael P. Grace II Associate Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame.

And today we're talking about his book, Political Humility, The Limits of Knowledge in Our Partisan Political Climate. So, Dr. Rober, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Thank you.

Yeah, I appreciate that. So, uh, I mean, let's talk a little bit first about political knowledge, but uh I would like to ask you to start off with what is the main claim you make in your book in regards to political knowledge? Yeah, so it's um it's it's really a claim about Americans. and their interaction with political information right now. So this may generalize to other populations.
