Stereotypes and Epistemic Value


 How Stereotypes Deceive Us provides a conceptual framework that can be used to understand the various epistemic faults associated with stereotypes and stereotyping. Chapter 7 begins the task of developing this framework by assessing the adequacy of existing epistemological frameworks to the task of capturing the epistemic faults associated with stereotyping. Existing epistemological frameworks are categorized as upstream, downstream or static approaches. It is found that each of these types of approach has strengths and shortcomings with regards to the task of capturing the epistemic faults associated with stereotyping. It is argued that a full and complete account of the epistemic faults associated with stereotyping should therefore be pluralistic, drawing on the advantages and avoiding the shortcomings of each of the types of approach to epistemology.
