\nWelcome to “Unmasking Objectivity: A Critical Examinati on of the Nexus between Universal Truth Claims and Emergent Power Structur es\,” a conference that plunges into the intricate relationship between kn owledge and power. In this conference\, we will uncover how epistemologica l standpoints intersect with systems of coercion\, marginalization\, and o ppression. Our topic extends to alternative visions of knowledge\, truth\, and learning\, offering the potential for shared beliefs while addressing the adverse impacts of entrenched power structures.
\nHow have clai ms to absolute\, objective\, or scientific truth driven oppression through ideologies like religious absolutism\, colonialism\, technocracy\, and sc ientific sexism and racism? Contemporary debates further emphasize the sig nificance of this intersection.
\nOur discourse will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether universalist epistemologies privi lege specific knowledge systems while silencing valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues overlooked by dominant knowl edge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. This conference fosters criti cal exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawing on interdisciplinary stu dies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political theory.
\nTogether\, we will assess the ethical implications of our epistemological practices a nd explore pathways to creating more equitable systems of knowledge and so cial learning. Join us at “Unmasking Objectivity” as we navigate the intri cate web of knowledge and power\, aiming for a just and inclusive future w here the notion of objectivity is both scrutinized and harnessed for socia l transformation.
\n\n\n\n\nThe importanc e of incorporating value pluralism into a theory of justice is recognized in many conceptualizations of justice. This pluralism is often seen as a r eason to attend to a range of perspectives\, perspectives which can functi on as a source of information in determining which principles should guide justice. However\, philosophy’s ability to properly attend to different p erspectives has received extensive attention in the criticisms of various non-ideal theorists\, who argue that ideal-theoretical philosophy runs the risk of excluding important aspects of actual social problems. Taking the se criticisms on board\, this paper builds on non-ideal theory by arguing for a Wittgensteinian family resemblance approach to justice. I will expla in how this linguistic practice-embedded understanding of justice can be a helpful tool for non-ideal theory\, as it can give us insight into why\, in various similar but different cases\, the notion of justice is seen as applicable. In light of this approach\, I will suggest a reorientation of the pluralist demand towards an empirical starting point.
