Some of the most problematic human behaviors involve vices of the
mind such as arrogance, closed-mindedness, dogmatism, gullibility,
and intellectual cowardice, as well as wishful or conspiratorial
thinking. What sorts of things are epistemic vices? How do we
detect and mitigate them? How and why do these vices prevent us
from acquiring knowledge, and what is their role in sustaining
patterns of ignorance? What is their relation to implicit or
unconscious bias? How do epistemic vices and systems of social
oppression relate to one another? Do we unwittingly absorb such
traits from the process of socialization and communities around us?
Are epistemic vices traits for which we can blamed? Can there be
institutional and collective epistemic vices? This book seeks to
answer these important questions about the vices of the mind and
their roles in our social and epistemic lives, and is the first
collection of its kind. Organized into three parts, chapters by
outstanding scholars explore the nature of epistemic vices,
specific examples of these vices, and case studies in applied vice
epistemology, including education and politics. Alongside these
foundational questions, the volume offers sophisticated accounts of
vices both new and familiar. These include epistemic arrogance and
servility, epistemic injustice, epistemic snobbishness,
conspiratorial thinking, procrastination, and forms of
closed-mindedness. Vice Epistemology is essential reading for
students of ethics, epistemology, and virtue theory, and various
areas of applied, feminist, and social philosophy. It will also be
of interest to practitioners, scholars, and activists in politics,
law, and education.
