The right to participate in science.
Navigating cooperation among epistemic jurisdictions.
[Preprint]
Abstract
Michela Massimi takes steps in defining the notion of ‘epistemic cooperation’. By contrast with institutional and legal cooperation, Massimi understands ‘epistemic cooperation’ primarily as cooperation among ‘epistemic jurisdictions’. The latter are understood as jurisdictions concerning the allocation of knowledge and expertise (i.e. who the experts are in a given scientific domain of inquiry). Massimi elucidates a received view of epistemic jurisdiction which she calls the territory-centred view and shows its shortcomings when it comes to understanding the value and significance of cooperation among different ways of knowing. Massimi proposes an alternative view—the community-based view.
Instead of allocating expertise and knowledge to silos, the community-based view focuses on the
situated knowledge of epistemic communities. It highlights the reciprocal and relational (rather than
mutually exclusive) interactions among ways of knowing, which are key to the implementation of the
right to participate in science and to the collective pursuit of goals of justice.
