Argumentative injustice

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to adapt Miranda Fricker's concept of testimonial injustice to cases of what I call "argumentative injustice" : those cases where an arguer's social identity brings listeners to place too much or little credibility in an argument. My recommendation is to adopt a stance of "metadistrust" - we ought to distrust our inclinations to trust or distrust members of stereotyped groups. © Patrick Bondy.
