Epistemological psychology
The term episteme is related to the Greek word επιστήμη, which translates literally as "standing near or by that which causes" but is often simplified as "knowledge" or "science". By ignoring ego interests the core impetus or the essence of a deed, real or imagined, is recovered.
Epistemic injustice
Other scholars have expanded what the term epistemic injustice includes. These contributions have included naming kinds of epistemic injustice such as epistemic oppression , epistemic exploitation , silencing as testimonial quieting and as testimonial smothering , contributory injustice , distributive epistemic injustice , and epistemic trust injustice.  Developments in the literature on epistemic injustice has also included José Medina's push for an account that incorporates more voices and pays attention to context and the relationships at play , as well as Elizabeth S. Anderson's argument for looking more closely at structural causes and structural remedies of epistemic injustice . A closely related literature on epistemologies of ignorance has also been developing, which has included the identification of overlapping concepts such as white ignorance and willful hermeneutical ignorance.
