Cognitive justice
The concept of cognitive justice is based on the recognition of the plurality of knowledge and expresses the right of the different forms of knowledge to co-exist.[1]
Indian scholar
Cognitive justice is a critique on the dominant paradigm of modern science[3] and promotes the recognition of alternative paradigms or alternative sciences by facilitating and enabling dialogue between, often incommensurable, knowledges. These dialogues of knowledge are perceived as contributing to a more sustainable, equitable, and democratic world.
The call for cognitive justice is found in a growing variety of fields, such as ethnobiology,[4] technology and database design,[5] and in information and communication technology for development (ICT4D).[6]
