“…Once whites are forced to listen to people of color, it is difficult to reasonably ignore the demands being made given the state of racial oppression. The social movement for the abolition of slavery serves as a case in point (Anderson, 2014). If ignorance is a key ingredient in maintaining racial oppression and domination, then disrupting this ignorance in any way possible is an important starting point in the battle for racial justice.…”

While white ignorance is primarily produced and reproduced through social-structural processes, philosophy of education scholarship has focused on agent-centered educational solutions. This article argues that agent-centered solutions are ineffective and that education for disrupting white ignorance must be structure-centered. Specifically, the article contends that (1) social-structural processes often render being in a state of white ignorance reasonable and that (2) assigning white ignorant agents individual responsibility for overcoming their ignorance is often unreasonable. Consequently, epistemic virtue-based approaches to education are insufficient and inappropriate. Instead, the author proposes prioritizing political forms of education. This includes educating students on how to participate in political action and using political action to educate the public.

“…While these studies primarily are concerned with the content of public values, we shall also draw on a closely related field about the process according to which people arrive at their moral judgements 31–40. The latter should not be confused with procedural justice which is concerned with the process according to which decision-makers arrive at a certain decision regarding distribution.…”

Justification of principles for healthcare priority setting: the relevance and roles of empirical studies exploring public values

How should scarce healthcare resources be distributed? This is a contentious issue that became especially pressing during the pandemic. It is often emphasised that studies exploring public views about this question provide valuable input to the issue of healthcare priority setting. While there has been a vast number of such studies it is rarely articulated, more specifically, what the results from these studies would mean for the justification of principles for priority setting. On the one hand, it seems unreasonable that public values would straightforwardly decide the ethical question of how resources should be distributed. On the other hand, in a democratic society, it seems equally unreasonable that they would be considered irrelevant for this question. In this paper we draw on the notion of reflective equilibrium and discuss the relevance and roles that empirical studies may plausibly have for justification in priority setting ethics. We develop a framework for analysing how different kinds of empirical results may have different kinds of implications for justification.

“…Thus, something like a protest can destabilize an equilibrium by signaling non‐compliance by many, which reduces the support of the problematic solutions and disincentivizes compliance. Movements also introduce new solutions and impose a social cost on those who insist on endorsing the old ones (Anderson, 2014). This is how movements punctuate long periods of stability with rapid change processes (Bowles et al., 2021; Young, 2020).…”

“…This is how movements punctuate long periods of stability with rapid change processes (Bowles et al., 2021; Young, 2020). If lived experiences indicate that the new norms are better than the old ones, the resulting change is an instance of progress (Anderson, 2014).…”

The Transformative Power of Social Movements

Social movements possess transformative and progressive power. In this paper, I argue that how this is so, or even if this is so, depends on one's explanatory framework. I consider three such explanatory frameworks for social movements: methodological individualism, collectivism, and complexity theory. In evaluating the various appeals and weaknesses of these frameworks, I show that complexity theory is uniquely poised to capture the complex and dynamic reality of the social world.
