In their paper “What is Ethical Enfranchisement? Community Research and the Social Infrastructure of Ethics” Stock, Schlehofer, and Nyland say, “Philosophical knowledge of ethics entails not merely the application of moral theory but the maintenance of social knowledge infrastructures such that the real convictions, attitudes, and persons that frame the public square can be mutually understood and safely deliberated. It is also a public philosophical practice that seeks to address epistemically injustice. In identifying and enfranchising community stakeholders, we have created a pathway to address credibility gaps in the meaning of ethics and to translate the experience of community members into knowledge producing practices.”

A quotation from Stock, Schlehofer, & Nyland’s paper, “What is Ethical Enfranchisement? Community Research and the Social Infrastructure of Ethics”.

The quote reads,
“Philosophical knowledge of ethics entails not merely the application of moral theory but the maintenance of social knowledge infrastructures such that the real convictions, attitudes, and persons that frame the public square can be mutually understood and safely deliberated. It is also a public philosophical practice that seeks to address epistemically injustice. In identifying and enfranchising community stakeholders, we have created a pathway to address credibility gaps in the meaning of ethics and to translate the experience of community members into knowledge producing practices.”
