Raúl Fornet-Betancourt

Raúl Fornet-Betancourt is a philosopher known for his work on epistemic injustice, which focuses on how certain groups can be unfairly treated in knowledge-related contexts. This concept highlights that some people are often underestimated or ignored based on their identity, leading to a distortion in how their knowledge and experiences are perceived. Fornet-Betancourt emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing diverse perspectives, especially from marginalized voices, to create a more equitable understanding of knowledge. His work encourages us to reflect on how power dynamics affect who gets heard and believed in society.
