‘…epistemic humiliations, often manifested in blank incredulity, are commonplace reactions to…Others'…aspirations. They carry the power to destroy a would-be knower's confidence for engaging in the trustful conversations (52-3) of which epistemic communities at their best are made. They can "inhibit the very formation of self" (55), Fricker rightly suggests.’
