- Title
Paul Hirst, education and epistemic injustice.
- Authors
Marabini, Alessia
- Abstract
In this paper I individuate and analyse a new type of epistemic injustice that can arise in education and depends on the so-called 'backtracking fallacy' in student assessment, which occurs when a teacher confuses (or does not distinguish between) the logical dimension of a framework of disciplinary concepts and its psychological dimension. I will also touch upon a different type of social injustice that might transpire in education. I suggest that familiarity with Paul Hirst's view of liberal education, which presupposes a neat distinction between public framework of knowledge and the psychological process of gradually learning it, can contribute to prevent or reduce both forms of injustice.
