In the era of information and communication, issues of misinformation and miscommunication are more pressing than ever. Epistemic injustice - one of the most important and ground-breaking subjects to have emerged in philosophy in recent years - refers to those forms of unfair treatment that relate to issues of knowledge, understanding, and participation in communicative practices.
The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in this exciting subject. The first collection of its kind, it comprises over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors, divided into five parts:
- Core Concepts
- Liberatory Epistemologies and Axes of Oppression
- Schools of Thought and Subfields within Epistemology
- Socio-political, Ethical, and Psychological Dimensions of Knowing
- Case Studies of Epistemic Injustice.
