epistemic blinkering

📖 Definitions

"...epistemic ‘blinkering’, as one might call it, that inevitably accompanies any scientific narrative, where the narrator can of course always choose to foreground some pieces of information and background others depending on their relevance to the narrative and on basis of important ethical considerations too" (Massimi 2022, 350).
