José Medina

José Medina is a philosopher who explores the concept of epistemic injustice, which refers to the ways in which individuals or groups can be unfairly deprived of their ability to share knowledge or have their knowledge acknowledged. He focuses on two main types: testimonial injustice, where someone's credibility is dismissed due to prejudice, and hermeneutical injustice, where certain experiences lack the language or context to be understood. Medina emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in knowledge-sharing and understanding, advocating for a more equitable approach to recognizing diverse perspectives, which is crucial for social justice and collective understanding.
