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. 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.
