This much-needed introduction explains what epistemic injustice is and examines it from a philosophical standpoint. With chapter summaries, further reading, and a glossary, it is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to the topic for the first time.



Epistemic injustice is one of the most important yet complex subjects to have emerged in philosophy in recent years. It refers to the idea that a person can be wronged when they are not properly believed or understood due to factors like prejudice and ignorance. In this clear and much-needed introduction, Aidan McGlynn explains what epistemic injustice is and examines it from a philosophical standpoint. He covers the following key topics and questions:

  • What is epistemic injustice and why is it significant?
  • What is epistemic oppression, and how does it differ from epistemic injustice?
  • The relationship between different theories of epistemic injustice
  • Testimonial injustice
  • Hermeneutical injustice
  • Primary harms of epistemic injustice
  • How to make progress towards epistemic justice.

Throughout the book McGlynn connects the conceptual aspects of epistemic injustice to pressing real-life examples of prejudice and ignorance, including those relating to gender, race, and disability.

With the inclusion of chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of key terms, Epistemic Injustice: An Introduction is an ideal starting point for anyone coming to the topic for the first time. In addition to philosophy, it is essential reading for those in related disciplines such as gender studies, sociology, ethnic and racial studies, law, education, politics, and health and disability studies.

Arvustused

'Aidan McGlynn has constructed an admirably clear and well-balanced Introduction to issues of epistemic injustice. While partly designed to be the valuable teaching resource it will surely prove to be, I suspect his book will also make its mark as a welcome addition to the scholarly literature.' - Miranda Fricker, New York University, USA

'In a time when epistemic injustice is often a mere buzzword, Aidan McGlynns well-rounded introduction offers readers the opportunity to understand the profound value of the nuanced philosophical debate about epistemic injustice and reasserts the concepts practical relevance.' - Melanie Altanian, University of Freiburg, Germany

'Razor sharp and incisive, this book scrutinises a new philosophical field: epistemic injustice. A much-needed analysis carried out with acuity and sensitivity.' - Havi Carel, University of Bristol, UK

'A wonderful resource for anyone interested in the topic. Full of examples, it is accessible without thereby losing the complexity of the debate and the topic itself. It is also remarkable in its sensitivity to the history that the contemporary debate on epistemic injustice has and the relevance of debates of epistemic oppression, epistemic violence, and contributory injustice. A great contribution to philosophy!' - Hilkje Hänel, University of Potsdam, Germany

'I have learned a great deal from reading this, due in large part to how easy it is to pick up where I left off, and that is due to McGlynns expertise and skill as a writerit is an excellent teaching resource.' - Nate Sheff, Visiting Assistant Professor, Fairfield University, USA 'Aidan McGlynn has constructed an admirably clear and well-balanced introduction to issues of epistemic injustice.
