[AEP Explainers] Political Polarization (with Kevin Dorst)

People often gloss political polarization as the result of some kind of irrationality. But what if that’s too quick? In this short explainer, Kevin Dorst presents a brief explanation of the existing literature on political polarization and then argues that even predictable polarization might in fact be the result of rational causes.

This is the second in a series of mini-explainers about different topics in applied epistemology.
