What is Wrong with Implicit Bias? - An Investigation of the Moral Problems with Implicit Bias
(2015) FPRK01 20142Practical Philosophy
- Abstract
- Implicit Bias is the automatic and unconscious tendency to associate certain traits with members of particular groups, which affect judgements and/or interactions with members from the denoted group. In philosophy the concept of Implicit Bias has often been treated as a thick normative (negative) concept, which I refute in my paper. My suggestion is that Implicit Bias, when it is wrong, is wrong because of wrongful discrimination.
