Opis

This book uses the framework of care ethics to articulate a novel theory of our epistemic obligations to one another. It presents an original way to understand our epistemic vulnerabilities, our obligations in education, and our care-duties toward others with whom we stand in epistemically vulnerable relationships.

Recenzje

"Johnson presents a convincing case for expanding the scope of social epistemology to vulnerable populations. This timely and important book is an essential read for anyone working on ethically-informed epistemology."
