This paper examines the role of prestige bias in shaping academic philosophy, with a focus on its demographics. I argue that prestige bias exacerbates the structural underrepresentation of minorities in philosophy. It works as a filter against (among others) philosophers of color, women philosophers, and philosophers of low socioeconomic status. As a consequence of prestige bias our judgments of philosophical quality become distorted. I outline ways in which prestige bias in philosophy can be mitigated.

威望偏见：公正学术哲学的障碍

本文考察了声望偏向在塑造学术哲学中的作用，重点关注其人口统计学。我认为，威望偏见加剧了少数派在结构上的代表性不足。它可以作为对（其中包括）有色哲学家，女性哲学家和社会经济地位低下的哲学家的过滤器。由于威信偏见，我们对哲学素质的判断变得扭曲。我概述了可以减轻哲学中的声誉偏见的方法。
