Ethical Epistemology

Ethical epistemology explores how our understanding of knowledge relates to moral values and ethical considerations. It examines the sources of knowledge—such as experience, reason, and testimony—and questions how these sources align with what is right or wrong. For example, it asks whether we have a moral obligation to seek true knowledge or how bias can affect our understanding of ethical issues. Ultimately, ethical epistemology encourages us to consider not just what we know, but how our knowledge impacts our actions and responsibilities toward others in society.
