To Judge and to Justify: Profiles of the Academic Vocation

Steve Fuller is Auguste Comte Professor of Social Epistemology at the University of Warwick, UK. Originally trained in history, philosophy and sociology of science, Fuller is best known for his foundational work in the field of 'social epistemology', which is the name of a quarterly journal he founded in 1987 as well as the first of his twenty-six books. His most recent research has focused on the future sustainability of 'humanity' as a concept in light of post/trans-human challenges, as well as the future of the university as a mainstay of society's intellectual life. His most recent books are Back to the University's Future: The Second Coming of Humboldt (Springer 2023) and Media and the Power of Knowledge (Bloomsbury 2025).
