“…In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the social aspects of intellectual virtues (de Ridder 2022; Kidd 2022; e.g. Lahroodi 2007;McHugh 2017), since the acquisition, exercise, refinement, and development of epistemic virtues inevitably occur within communal contexts and social environments (Tanesini 2022).…”

In this paper I offer a characterization of the intellectual virtue of social inquisitiveness, paying attention to its difference from the individual virtue of inquisitiveness. I defend that there is a significant distinction between individual and social epistemic virtues: individual epistemic virtues are attributed to individuals and assessed by the quality of their cognitive powers, while social epistemic virtues are attributed to epistemic communities and are assessed by the quality of the epistemic relations within the communities. I begin presenting Lani Watson's characterization of the (individual) practice of questioning and its related intellectual virtue, inquisitiveness. While she does not employ normative language, I show that her description can be constructed through four norms. Then, based on an account of epistemic communities, I defend that, while epistemic virtues attributable to individuals have norms regulating cognitive powers, epistemic virtues attributable to epistemic communities have norms regulating social epistemic interactions and shared epistemic responsibility. I then present a robust characterization of the epistemic virtue of social inquisitiveness through its social epistemic norms: DISTRIBUTION, ACCESSIBILITY, SOCIAL SINCERITY, SOCIAL CONTEXT, and FREQUENCY. I respond to two possible objections to my account and conclude by offering suggestions to broaden the scope of the epistemology of questioning.

“…Artikkelen bygger på en bred litteratur om epistemisk urettferdighet og motstand (Allen, 2017;Mason, 2011;McHugh, 2017;Medina, 2013 og på studier om stigmatisering av foreldrene til barn med nedsatt funksjonsevne (Farrugia, 2009;Gray, 2002;Green et al, 2005;Green, 2003). Jeg illustrerer noen av Frickers begreper gjennom en vignett om en mor (Lilias) til et barn med medfødt døvblindhet.…”

“…Cuestión que llegó para derribar la idea de una "neutralidad epistémica" que ocultaba la existencia real de un grupo reducido y generalmente caracterizado por ser blanco, de clase alta, heterosexual, hombre, de Europa o Estados Unidos. Como muestra McHugh (2017), los diferentes estudios descentran y develan los límites de ese agenciamiento, hasta el punto de que se necesita hablar de comunidades epistémicas como una crítica a la individualización exagerada de las reflexiones tanto tradicionales como alternativas: "Esta visión individualista de la agencia epistémica hace que sea un desafío entender cómo las comunidades, especialmente las comunidades oprimidas, experimentan la injusticia epistémica y cómo estas comunidades se involucran colectivamente en las resistencias epistémicas. Afortunadamente, se han propuesto modelos alternativos de agencia epistémica que reconocen una agencia epistémica colectiva".…”

El presente artículo analiza las violencias e injusticias epistémicas que sufren las mujeres trans*, que se pueden rastrear en enunciados convencionales de los discursos médico, jurídico y mediático en torno al asesinato de mujeres trans*; dichos enunciados se refuerzan entre sí, perpetuando injusticias epistémicas contra estas mujeres en Colombia. Para esto, usaremos la noción de injusticia epistémica de Miranda Fricker y las propuestas de otrxs autorxs contemporáneos, como Moira Pérez, Blas Radi y Judith Butler, y mostraremos cómo los prejuicios identitarios y la injusticia testimonial y hermenéutica a la que se ven expuestas las feminidades trans* implican marginarlas por medio de prácticas sociales de significación.
