Recently, there has been interest in the relation between epistemic injustice and the concept of recognition in the Anglo-American context. Such inquiries focus on the general relation of theories of epistemic injustices and recognition theory, questions such as the normative status of the knower or the possibility of resisting structural epistemic injustices. Furthermore, practices of silencing and epistemic exclusion have consequences that go well beyond the epistemic dimension and that influence our social practices, for example, of giving respect, esteem, and love. Thus, the investigation of epistemic injustice, oppression, and violence in relation to misrecognition proves fruitful in more than one way. The German context provides a particularly promising context for such inquiries because of its long tradition of Critical Theory and, relatedly, recognition theory. Yet, so far, there is no significant research on epistemic injustices or on aspects of silencing and epistemic exclusion in relation to theories of recognition within contemporary German philosophy. And even within the Anglo-American context, research is concentrated in only one special issue in Feminist Philosophy Quarterly and one forthcoming anthology; both being general collections of different ideas on the relation between these two fields within philosophy and do not provide a systematic theory of this particular relation and its consequences for other neighboring theories and areas of applied philosophy. What is missing--both in Germany and internationally--and what this network aims to provide, is: First, a systematic approach that investigates the distinct relation between the different kinds of epistemic injustice and forms of (mis)recognition; second, an elucidation of a general theory of epistemic injustice and misrecognition; and, third, an application of said theory regarding current social phenomena in the world, such as migration, climate change, sexism and racism, disability rights movements, trans* activism. The developing interest in the relation between theories of epistemic injustice and recognition theory so far shows that analysis and critique of epistemic injustices can be significantly improved and fruitfully enriched by the insights from recognition theory; for example, by bringing to light the structural nature of epistemic injustice and by envisioning potential ways to (epistemically) respect other social groups and communities. The systematic approach and elucidation of a general theory that the network aims to accomplish should also bear in mind the significant differences between distinct branches of recognition theory as well as the differences between theories of silencing, epistemic exclusion, and ignorance, which is why the network members include both experts from different branches of recognition theory as well as different theories of silencing and ignorance.

最近，在英美语境中，认识上的不公正与承认概念之间的关系引起了人们的兴趣。这种调查集中在认识不公正和承认理论的一般关系，如知识的规范性地位或抵制结构性认识不公正的可能性等问题。此外，沉默和认知排斥的做法产生的后果远远超出了认知层面，影响了我们的社会实践，例如给予尊重，尊重和爱。因此，对与错误认识有关的认识上的不公正、压迫和暴力的调查在不止一个方面证明是富有成果的。德国的语境为这种研究提供了一个特别有希望的语境，因为它有着悠久的批判理论传统，以及与之相关的承认理论。然而，到目前为止，没有重大的研究认识的不公正或沉默和认识排斥方面的承认理论在当代德国哲学。即使在英美背景下，研究也只集中在《女性主义哲学季刊》的一个特刊和一本即将出版的选集上;两者都是关于哲学中这两个领域之间关系的不同观点的总集，并没有为这种特殊关系及其对其他邻近理论和应用哲学领域的影响提供系统的理论。在德国和国际上所缺少的以及该网络旨在提供的是：第一，一种系统的方法，调查不同种类的认识上的不公正和（错误）承认形式之间的独特关系;第二，阐明认识上的不公正和错误承认的一般理论;第三，将上述理论应用于当今世界的社会现象，如移民、气候变化、性别歧视和种族主义、残疾人权利运动、跨性别行动主义。到目前为止，对认识不公正理论和承认理论之间关系的兴趣不断发展，这表明认识不公正的分析和批评可以通过承认理论的见解得到显着改善和富有成效的丰富;例如，通过揭示认识不公正的结构性，并通过设想潜在的方式（认识上）尊重其他社会群体和社区。该网络旨在实现的系统方法和一般理论的阐明还应该记住识别理论的不同分支之间的显著差异以及沉默理论，认知排斥和无知之间的差异，这就是为什么网络成员包括来自识别理论不同分支的专家以及不同的沉默和无知理论。
