Ole Koksvik (Bergen): What Epistemic Injustice Tells Us about Benefiting from Injustice

Two recent developments in political theory are the following. On the one hand, Miranda Fricker (2007) has argued that people suffer a distinctively epistemic form of injustice when they are harmed in their capacity as a knower. On the other hand, a range of authors have followed Daniel Butt (2004) in arguing that benefiting from injustice ('BFI') can be a source of moral obligation. I argue that consideration of the special case of Epistemic Injustice can teach us valuable lessions about the contours of BFI more generally.
