The epistemic elements of decision making

Creating an agreed knowledge base is one of the main challenges of deliberation. Agreeing on facts and interpretations, may seems to be a hard task to accomplish. Participants may not agree about the facts and even on how to interpret the facts they do agree upon. Participants that come from different worldview may lack the common ground to get into agreements. All these require us to have a very good understanding of how to construct knowledge and how to validate the knowledge in a way that will enable all participants to agree upon the knowledge.
