Cultural Epistemology

Cultural epistemology examines how different cultures shape our understanding of knowledge and truth. It recognizes that some groups may be unfairly dismissed or marginalized in how knowledge is perceived or valued. This relates to epistemic injustice, where individuals or communities are denied credibility or authority based on their cultural background. By exploring these dynamics, cultural epistemology aims to highlight and address biases in knowledge systems, promoting a more inclusive and equitable understanding of what counts as knowledge across diverse cultures.
