JUST KNOWLEDGE: Workshop on Miranda Fricker’s book “Epistemic Injustice”
9 December 2014 @ 10:00 - 18:00
|Traditional theories of social justice focus on the distribution of
goods and resources and the institutional framework determining this
distribution. In her groundbreaking book “Epistemic Injustice. Power &
The Ethics of Knowing” (OUP 2009), Miranda Fricker (Sheffield) argues
that such theories suffer from a characteristic blind spot: they
overlook the fact that there are some injustices which affect subjects
specifically as subjects of knowledge. Some people are excluded from the
flow of information, whilst some groups are, by default, distrusted in
their capacity to give reliable testimony. This workshop aims to discuss
the important topic of epistemic injustice and to develop an assessment
of its merits for issues in epistemology and political philosophy.
Everybody is cordially invited to attend the workshop and the public
lecture. Registration is free of charge, but participants are requested
to send an email to h.c.sauer@uvt.nl.
