The practice of using epistemological standards—claims about what counts as knowledge, evidence, or justification—as tools of moral judgment and exclusion. Epistemological moralism condemns not just what people believe but how they claim to know it, treating different ways of knowing as moral failings rather than cultural differences. It's the anthropologist who dismisses indigenous knowledge as "unscientific" and therefore illegitimate; the philosopher who treats anyone who can't articulate their [epistemology] as [intellectually bankrupt]; the scientist who treats non-quantitative evidence as morally suspect. Epistemological moralism turns questions of method into questions of character, making [epistemology] a weapon rather than a tool.
