Epistemic Injustice and Medical Practice

Abstract

La obra de Miranda Fricker se ha convertido en el curso de dos décadas en una referencia ineludible en la epistemología social analítica para el análisis de cómo incide el poder en las relaciones epistémicas entre agentes socialmente situados. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las condiciones que favorecen la comisión de injusticias testimoniales en la consulta médica y argumentar que el naturalismo adoptado por Fricker requiere robustecerse con aportaciones conceptuales y empíricas de las ciencias sociales, que han analizado dimensiones cruciales para comprender por qué la práctica médica en las sociedades contemporáneas es tan propicia a que se cometan injusticias epistémicas sistemáticas que ahondan las condiciones de vulnerabilidad en que se encuentran las personas que enfrentan condiciones médicas.

Miranda Fricker’s work has become an unavoidable reference in analytic social epistemology for the analysis of how social power influences epistemic relations among socially situated agents. The aim of this paper is to analyze the conditions that favor the systematic occurrence of testimonial injustices in medical practice and to argue that Fricker’s naturalism needs robust socio-scientific conceptual and empirical tools in order to understand dimensions central to the medical consultation in contemporary societies that deepen the conditions of vulnerability patients find themselves in this situations, dimensions that are not addressed in her work.
