Epistemic Injustice: Power and the Ethics of Knowing

Why this matters here

Fricker’s Epistemic Injustice shows how credibility is unevenly distributed across relationships and institutions, producing testimonial and hermeneutical harms. How Trust Forms ties that unevenness to ordinary interpretation: the same words read differently depending on whether the source is trusted or doubted. Fricker diagnoses credibility injustice; the book asks how trust shapes what people are willing to hear before they evaluate the claim.
