In this exploration of new territory between ethics and
epistemology, Miranda Fricker argues that there is a distinctively
epistemic type of injustice, in which someone is wronged
specifically in their capacity as a knower. Justice is one of the
oldest and most central themes in philosophy, but in order to
reveal the ethical dimension of our epistemic practices the focus
must shift to injustice. Fricker adjusts the philosophical lens so
that we see through to the negative space that is epistemic
injustice.
The book explores two different types of epistemic injustice, each
driven by a form of prejudice, and from this exploration comes a
positive account of two corrective ethical-intellectual virtues.
The characterization of these phenomena casts light on many issues,
such as social power, prejudice, virtue, and the genealogy of
knowledge, and it proposes a virtue epistemological account of
testimony. In this ground-breaking book, the entanglements of
reason and social power are traced in a new way, to reveal the
different forms of epistemic injustice and their place in the broad
pattern of social injustice.
