書籍簡介

這本書提供了一個令人信服的檢查，我們的道德和認識義務是合理的人，誰尋求理解的社會現實，與我們不同的人。考慮到社會建構的無知的壓迫方面，海克斯認為，無知既會產生不公正，也會產生認知上的壓抑，然後繼續探討我們的道德義務和認知義務是如何克服無知的負面影響的。

通過三個獨立的結合哲學利益的領域——無知,理解,和合理性——heike試圖找到一種正確的認識論和道德上的不公正,滿足需求的女權主義理論和批判種族理論的認識論提供了希望克服壓迫的倫理問題。

This book offers a compelling examination of our moral and epistemic obligations to be reasonable people who seek to understand the social reality of those who are different from us. Considering the oppressive aspects of socially constructed ignorance, Heikes argues that ignorance produces both injustice and epistemic repression, before going on to explore how our moral and epistemic obligations to be understanding and reasonable can overcome the negative effects of ignorance.

Through the combination of three separate areas of philosophical interest- ignorance, understanding, and reasonableness- Heikes seeks to find a way to correct for epistemological and moral injustices, satisfying needs in feminist theory and critical race theory for an epistemology that offers hope of overcoming the ethical problem of oppression.
