Åsa Wikforss
Åsa Wikforss is a prominent Swedish philosopher and professor of cognitive science at Stockholm University, known for her work on epistemology and the philosophy of language. Her research primarily focuses on issues related to knowledge, belief, and the impact of misinformation on democratic societies. She has been an outspoken advocate for the importance of critical thinking and the quality of information in public discourse, especially in the context of the challenges posed by digital media and disinformation. Wikforss argues that while free speech is fundamental to democracy, there is a crucial need to consider the implications of misinformation and how it can undermine democratic values.
