cognitive justice

Cognitive justice refers to the fairness and respect in recognizing diverse ways of knowing, understanding, and perceiving the world. It emphasizes valuing different cultural, philosophical, and experiential perspectives equally, rather than favoring one dominant worldview. This promotes inclusivity and understanding, allowing multiple knowledge systems—such as indigenous, scientific, or spiritual—to coexist and inform decision-making. By fostering cognitive justice, societies can ensure that all voices are heard and respected, leading to more equitable, innovative, and culturally rich interactions and solutions.
