Epistemic reparations and the right to be known: introduction
摘要
This introduction reflects on the papers in the Special Issue under five broad themes—Theoretical Frameworks for Epistemic Reparations; Structural Epistemic Wrongs and Reparations; Hostile Contexts and Epistemic Agency; The Right to Be Known and the Duty to Bear Witness; and Applying the Epistemic Reparations Framework. Any grouping of such a rich tapestry of papers is bound to be somewhat artificial. So, the aim here is not to reduce each paper to a single theme, but rather to show off the richness of the epistemic reparations landscape, and to highlight the papers’ potential for expanding it beyond its current boundaries.
