Reconstruction of women’s epistemic authority through embodied self-knowledge and transformation of embodied habits

Authors

This paper analyzes the importance of building or strengthening epistemic authority and trust from the women’s first-person perspective and how this type of trust should be understood in its intimate connection with embodied trust. Women, through their particular experiences of themselves, of the world and of others, assimilate in a harmful way the epistemic distrust that their community of knowledge transmits to them. This thesis is developed based on the phenomenological conception of living body, as it was proposed by Merleau-Ponty, but with an emphasis on the works of Simone de Beauvoir and Iris Young because her works make it possible to understand how the fundamental structures of the women’s experience and the ways of being embodied of women goes through an experiential route different from men because of the type of society in which they find themselves. The final part of the text proposes a way to reconstruct or strengthen the epistemic trust and authority of women from a route of embodied self-knowledge and change of habits.
