Charles Mills

Charles Mills is a philosopher known for his work on race and social justice. In the context of epistemic injustice, he highlights how certain groups, particularly marginalized racial communities, are unfairly discredited or ignored in their knowledge and experiences. This leads to a failure to recognize their voices and insights, reinforcing systemic inequalities. Mills argues that this injustice not only harms individuals but also affects society's understanding and decision-making by privileging dominant perspectives while sidelining those less heard, ultimately impeding progress toward true equality and justice.
