Abstract

This chapter details five forms of epistemic oppression and explains some of the epistemic injustices caused by these oppressive relations. It describes the ways in which oppression contributes to the creation and maintenance of the intellectual vices of superiority (arrogance and narcissism) and inferiority (servility and timidity). The chapter concludes by highlighting the roles played by vices in reproducing oppression and by mentioning some potential ameliorative measures.
