Description
The arguments in this book are informed at once by the moral-political implications of how knowledge is produced and circulated and by issues of gendered subjectivity. In their critical dimension, these lucid essays engage with the incapacity of the philosophical mainstream's dominant epistemologies to offer regulative principles that guide people in the epistemic projects that figure centrally in their lives. In its constructive dimension, RhetoricalSpaces focuses on developing productive, case-by-case analyses of knowing other people in situations where social-political inequalities create asymmetrical patterns of epistemic power and privilege.
Reviews / Votes
"...her work has a subversive potential to pose unasked questions about rhetorically mediated contexts of legitimacy, the social construction of the grounds for "good reasons" and naturalized, taken-for-granted rhetorical spaces that delegitimite or sanction what may count as the force of the better argument." -- QuarterlyJournal of SpeechMore details
