This book introduces the idea of \u003ci\u003enarrative testimony\u003c\/i\u003e: a discourse composed of a series of structured statements about someone's experienced events, rather than disconnected statements in chronological order. Narrative testimony reflects, to varying degrees, narrators' ways of seeing their lived realities. However, as feminist and postcolonial theorists have pointed out, some narrative testimonies-particularly those recounted by people in socially marginalized positions-are apt to be treated unjustly.\u003cbr\u003eThis book develops narrative injustice as a distinctive form of epistemic injustice that discounts the narrators' knowledge of what their experiences are like-\u003ci\u003ewhat-it-is-like knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e-examines a new form of listeners' responsibility for it, and suggests measures to prevent it.\u003cbr\u003eKunimasa Sato argues that narrative testimony characteristically transmits narrators' what-it-is-like knowledge in the propositional form and can enable listeners to imagine similarly relevant experiences -a cognitive form of what-it-is-like knowledge. Narrative injustice, however, downgrades narrators in their capacity to recount narratives that convey a subset of true propositions describing what their experiences are like from a particular standpoint. Sato develops synchronic and diachronic aspects of doxastic responsibility for testimonial injustice. \u003cbr\u003eFor those who wish to avoid committing testimonial injustice,  transformative virtue is an aretaic individual measure to adopt appropriate interrogative attitudes toward what it would be like to undergo an unjust and oppressive experience akin to those described by the victims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKunimasa Sato\u003c\/b\u003e is a Lecturer of Philosophy and Ethics at Ibaraki University in Japan.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 April 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666939057\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52223162908812,"sku":"9781666939057","price":103.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666939057","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
