Titre/Title : 'Consciousness Raising and the Epistemology of (In)Justice'

Résumé/Abstract : In the context of ideal theory, the Rawlsian original position has been a standard method for attempting to determine what justice is.  The epistemology of justice in the context of non-ideal theory, especially the epistemology of consciousness raising, has been mostly neglected in contemporary philosophy.  This paper makes a start on an epistemology of justice by considering how an epistemology of justice differs from a moral epistemology for individual action and explores the role of counter-publics and social movements in ideology critique.
