This Volume Of Essays By Naomi Scheman Brings Together Her Views On Epistemic And Sociopolitical Issues, Views That Draw On A Critical Reading Of Wittgenstein As Well As On Liberatory Movements And Theories, All In The Service Of A Fundamental Reorientation Of Epistemology. For Some Theorists, Epistemology Is An Essentially Foundationalist And Hence Discredited Enterprise; For Othersparticularly Analytic Epistemologistsit Remains Rigorously Segregated From Political Concerns. Scheman Makes A Compelling Case For The Necessity Of Thinking Epistemologically In Fundamentally Altered Ways. Arguing That It Is An Illusion Of Privilege To Think That We Can Do Without Usable Articulations Of Concepts Such As Truth, Reality, And Objectivity, She Maintains (As In The Title Of One Of Her Essays) That Epistemology Needs To Be 'Resuscitated' As An Explicitly Political Endeavor, With Trustworthiness At Its Heart. While Each Essay Contributes To A Specific Conversation, Taken Together They Argue For Addressing Theoretical Questions As They Arise Concretely. Truth, Reality, Objectivity, And Other Concepts That Problematically Rest On Shifting Ground Are More Than Philosophical Toys, And The Groundshifting These Essays Enact Is A Move Away From Abstruse Theorizinganalytic And Poststructuralist Alike. Following Wittgenstein'S Injunctions To Just Look, To Attend To The 'Rough Ground' Of Everyday Practices, Scheman Argues For Finding Philosophical Insight In Such Acts Of Attention And In The Difficulties That Beset Them. These Essays Are An Attempt To Grasp Something In Particular, To Get A Handle On A Set Of Problems, And Collectively They Represent A Fresh Model Of Passionate Philosophical Engagement.
