Testimonial Injustice and Epistemology

Miranda Fricker discusses testimonial injustice, where a hearer diminishes the credibility of a speaker due to prejudice, leading to a lack of respect and dignity for the speaker. She links this injustice to epistemology, highlighting how issues of social identity and power impact knowledge. Fricker's work integrates concepts of knowledge and justice, emphasizing the importance of considering both in discussions about societal injustices.
