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 I: Metaphysics and Epistemology is comprised of
two sections: 'The Nature of Implicit Attitudes, Implicit Bias, and
Stereotype Threat,' and 'Skepticism, Social Knowledge, and
Rationality.' The first section contains chapters examining the
relationship between implicit attitudes and 'dual process' models
of the mind; the role of affect in the formation and change of
implicit associations; the unity (or disunity) of implicit
attitudes; whether implicit biases are mental states at all; and
whether performances on stereotype-relevant tasks are automatic and
unconscious or intentional and strategic. The second section
contains chapters examining implicit bias and skepticism; the
effects of implicit bias on scientific research; the accessibility
of social stereotypes in epistemic environments; the effects of
implicit bias on the self-perception of members of stigmatized
social groups as rational agents; the role of gender stereotypes in
philosophy; and the role of heuristics in biased reasoning. This
volume can be read independently of, or in conjunction with, a
second volume of essays, Volume II: Moral Responsibility,
Structural Injustice, and Ethics, which explores the themes of
moral responsibility in implicit bias, structural injustice in
society, and strategies for implicit attitude change.
