About the Lecture
Prof. Dr. Daniel Loick of the University of Amsterdam will present a lecture exploring the effects of social context on epistemic competence and normative values.
Philosophical perspectives have demonstrated how social positioning influences the ability to acquire and produce knowledge. Dominant groups, according to this view, frequently enough face epistemic obstacles that limit thier understanding. Conversely, oppressed groups may possess unique insights and knowledge inaccessible to those in dominant positions.
The lecture will argue that this principle extends beyond epistemology to our normative relationship with the world. Our values, virtues, and moral sensibilities are shaped by social norms.
Loick’s lecture aims to outline the fundamental aspects of a standards theory of normativity. he will examine concepts of fleeting freedom within the Black Radical tradition and revisit the feminist discourse surrounding care work. These traditions, while distinct, offer insights into opposing hegemonic norms and share a foundation in the political struggles arising from social contradictions.
