  1. 1. Epistemic Injustice

    Power and the Ethics of Knowing

    The book explores the concept of epistemic injustice, which refers to the harm done to individuals in their capacity as knowers. It identifies two primary forms of this injustice: testimonial injustice, where a speaker's credibility is unfairly diminished due to prejudice, and hermeneutical injustice, where a gap in collective interpretive resources leaves someone unable to make sense of their social experiences. Through philosophical analysis, the book examines how these injustices manifest in everyday interactions and institutional structures, highlighting their ethical and epistemological implications and advocating for greater awareness and corrective measures to address these inequities.
