Naomi Scheman

Shifting Ground

Knowledge and Reality, Transgression and Trustworthiness

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book joins epistemic and socio-political issues, using Wittgenstein and diverse liberatory theories to reorient epistemology as an explicitly political endeavor, with trustworthiness at its heart. Each essay was an attempt to grasp a particular set of problems, and they appear together as a model of passionate philosophical engagement.
