Abstract

In this paper, I further defend the view, originally developed in Mitova (2022), that certain social identity groups have distinctive epistemic reasons in virtue of constituting this group. I respond to three critics—Cameron Boult (2023), Xiaofei Liu (2023), and Anne Schwenkenbecher (2024).
