Epistemology Vizualized

This is a prototype website for the Epistemology Visualized project.

Aims

The project aims at providing open source, modular, interactive visualizations of important theorms and models in epistemology, starting with political epistemology.

Example

See the Condorcet Jury Theorem page for a prototype.

Technicalities

  • Text: markdown and the occasional LaTeX for maths.
  • Code: Javascript for lean and fast in-browser rendering.
  • Interactive visualizations: Observable, easy to code and beautiful.
  • Document rendering: Quarto. Handles website structure, scholarly apparatus, LaTeX and Observable.

These choices aren’t set in stone. I’ve considered interactive Jupyter notebooks, Observable notebooks. There are yet others.
