*Social epistemology of reputation

Manzo responds to Origgi's 'Social Epistemology of Reputation'

While I would agree that 'reputation' does serve as a cognitive shortcut and a heuristic in the descriptive sense, I would partially disagree with Manzo's first point that reputation is an individual property as opposed to relational property. I only disagree in part because I think teh development of an individual's social property such as reputation is a product of relational components as well as individual actions and behaviors that are indicative of one's personality and stuff.

Nonetheless I think this is an important discussion in the area of Social Epistemology as it points to the "culture of power" that underlie political landscapes and by looking at the dynamic of reputation we can take the lens a bit closer into how and why a culture of power develops that perpetuate the same systematic errors despite any meaningful revolution e.g. Egypt.
