Abstract
This chapter contains case studies of the epistemology of reputation and its implications through the Web. It talks about how people use the reputation of both humans and things to extract information from the world around them. This chapter provides a “cognitive” approach to reputation, focusing on how it is used to understand surroundings. It explores the epistemological role of reputation in three pivotal areas of cognitive life: the circulation of information, the training of taste, and the construction of knowledge. When people first come into contact with a new domain of learning, their access to facts is inevitably determined by the opinions, values, and preferences of others.
