Religion, Psychiatry, and “Radical” Epistemic Injustices
Abstract
Hermeneutical injustice as a concept has evolved since its original formulation by Miranda Fricker. José Eduardo Porcher has recently proposed the addition of a new form of ‘radical’ hermeneutical injustice, with a case study of psychotic symptoms involving religious content We think there is a form of radical hermeneutical injustice – different to the one described by Porcher. Some interpretations of kinds of experience with religious content can be undermined if one is committed to a metaphysical naturalism.
