There is abundant evidence that most people, often in spite of
their conscious beliefs, values and attitudes, have implicit
biases. 'Implicit bias' is a term of art referring to evaluations
of social groups that are largely outside conscious awareness or
control. These evaluations are typically thought to involve
associations between social groups and concepts or roles like
'violent,' 'lazy,' 'nurturing,' 'assertive,' 'scientist,' and so
on. Such associations result at least in part from common
stereotypes found in contemporary liberal societies about members
of these groups. Implicit Bias and Philosophy brings the work of
leading philosophers and psychologists together to explore core
areas of psychological research on implicit (or unconscious) bias,
as well as the ramifications of implicit bias for core areas of
philosophy. Volume 2: Moral Responsibility, Structural Injustice,
and Ethics is comprised of three sections. 'Moral Responsibility
for Implicit Bias' contains chapters examining the relationship of
implicit biases to concepts that are central to moral
responsibility, including control, awareness,
reasons-responsiveness, and alienation. The chapters in the second
section-'Structural Injustice'-explore the connections between the
implicit biases held by individuals and the structural injustices
of the societies in which they are situated. And finally, the third
section-'The Ethics of Implicit Bias: Theory and Practice'-contains
chapters examining strategies for implicit attitude change, the
ramifications of research on implicit bias for philosophers working
in ethics, and suggestions for combatting implicit biases in the
fields of philosophy and law. This volume can be read independently
of, or in conjunction with, Volume I: Metaphysics and Epistemology,
which addresses key metaphysical and epistemological questions on
implicit bias, including the effect of implicit bias on scientific
research, gender stereotypes in philosophy, and the role of
heuristics in biased reasoning.
