The concept of cognitive justice is based on the recognition of the plurality of knowledge and expresses the right of the different forms of knowledge to co-exist. Indian scholar Shiv Visvanathan coined the term cognitive justice in his 1997 book "A Carnival for Science: Essays on science, technology and development". Commenting on the destructive impact of hegemonic Western science on developing countries and non-Western cultures, Visvanathan calls for the recognition of alternative sciences or non-Western forms of knowledge. He argues that different knowledges are connected with different livelihoods and lifestyles and should therefore be treated equally.

- La Justice cognitive est un concept de l'anthropologue indien Shiv Visvanathan. Elle " reconnaît le droit des différentes formes de savoirs à coexister, et cette pluralité doit aller au-delà de la tolérance ou du libéralisme et prôner une reconnaissance active de la nécessité de la diversité. Elle exige la reconnaissance des savoirs non seulement comme méthodes, mais aussi comme modes de vie. La connaissance est considérée comme ancrée dans une écologie des savoirs où chaque savoir a sa place, sa prétention à une cosmologie, son sens comme forme de vie." (fr)

| - The concept of cognitive justice is based on the recognition of the plurality of knowledge and expresses the right of the different forms of knowledge to co-exist. Indian scholar Shiv Visvanathan coined the term cognitive justice in his 1997 book "A Carnival for Science: Essays on science, technology and development". Commenting on the destructive impact of hegemonic Western science on developing countries and non-Western cultures, Visvanathan calls for the recognition of alternative sciences or non-Western forms of knowledge. He argues that different knowledges are connected with different livelihoods and lifestyles and should therefore be treated equally. Cognitive justice is a critique on the dominant paradigm of modern science and promotes the recognition of alternative paradigms or alternative sciences by facilitating and enabling dialogue between, often incommensurable, knowledges. These dialogues of knowledge are perceived as contributing to a more sustainable, equitable, and democratic world. The call for cognitive justice is found in a growing variety of fields, such as ethnobiology, technology and database design, and in information and communication technology for development (ICT4D). South-African scholar and UNESCO education expert Catherine Odora Hoppers wrote about cognitive justice in the field of education. She argued that indigenous knowledges have to be included in the dialogues of knowledge without having to fit in the structures and standards of Western knowledge. When Indigenous knowledges are treated equally, they can play their role in making a more democratic and dialogical science, which remains connected to the livelihoods and survival of all cultures.

La connaissance est considérée comme ancrée dans une écologie des savoirs où chaque savoir a sa place, sa prétention à une cosmologie, son sens comme forme de vie." Shiv Visvanathan introduit ce concept en 2009 à partir d’un "sentiment de malaise face à la domination d’une certaine vision du monde, issue des pays du Nord, sur d’autres formes de savoirs". Ce qui crée un déséquilibre que des militants de la science ouverte appellent des injustices cognitives. Les difficultés auxquelles les universitaires africains et haïtiens sont confrontés pour pratiquer la recherche et la publier font partie de ces injustices cognitives. Ces difficultés diminuent leur capacité de déployer le plein potentiel de leurs talents intellectuels, de leurs savoirs et de leur capacité de recherche scientifique pour les mettre au service du développement local durable de leur communauté. Ces militants de la science ouverte font état d'au moins sept formes d'injustices cognitives. (fr)
