SUMMARY:"Wronging Skillful Animals" with Andrew Lopez
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I bring animal ethics into conversation 
 with epistemic injustice. I consider a preliminary objection to thinking t
 hat epistemic injustice could apply to nonhuman animals (henceforth animal
 s): animals cannot experience epistemic injustice because they do not poss
 ess the features or capacities of knowers. Animals may be cognitive\, affe
 ctive\, and conative creatures\, but not proper epistemic agents. Animals 
 are not epistemic agents because\, according to internalists about justifi
 cation\, they cannot access the normative aspects of epistemology\; only p
 ersons have the capacity to either become aware of and understand what jus
 tifies their beliefs\, or can be held responsible for what they believe. S
 ince animals cannot do either\, they cannot wrong nor be wronged in such a
  way that qualifies as epistemic injustice. However\, I propose that anima
 ls can be subject to epistemic injustice in terms of their know-how. I dra
 w from Gilbert Ryle and understand know-how as successful performance resu
 lting from perfectible\, self-regulated ability. I then consider the condi
 tions for know-how’s justification\, and draw from work on extended cogn
 ition to argue for an externalist conception of ‘extended knowing\,’ w
 here the subject of knowledge is not just the isolated animal\, but the an
 imal-and-their-environment. Animals can then experience epistemic injustic
 e through human action that disregards their cognitive and epistemic needs
  and disrupts their environments in such a way that animals lose know-how 
 or their potential to gain know-how.\n\nAndrew Lopez is a doctoral candida
 te at Queen's University. He specializes in animal philosophy\, feminist p
 hilosophy\, and social and political philosophy. \n\n&nbsp\;\n\n
