Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. How could ecological thinking animate an epistemology capable of addressing feminist, multicultural, and other post-colonial concerns? Starting from an epistemological approach implicit in Rachel Carson's scientific practice, Lorraine Code elaborates the creative, restructuring resources of ecology for a theory of knowledge. She critiques the instrumental rationality, abstract individualism, and exploitation of people and places that western epistemologies ofmastery have legitimated, to propose a politics of epistemic location, sensitive to the interplay of particularity and diversity, and focused on responsible epistemic practice.Drawing onecological theory and practice, on naturalized epistemology, and on feminist and post-colonial theories, Code analyzes extended examples from developmental psychology, and from two "natural" institutions of knowledge production--medicine and law. These institutions lend themselves well to a reconfigured naturalism. They are, in practice, empirically-scientifically informed, specifically situated, and locally interpretive. With human subjects as their "objects" of knowledge, they invoke theresponsibility requirements central to Code's larger project.This book discusses a wide range of literature in philosophy, social science, and ethico-political thought. Highly innovative, itwill generate productive conversations in feminist theory, and in the ethics and politics of knowledge more broadly conceived. Drawing on ecological theory and naturalized epistemology, this book addresses the instrumental rationality and exploitation of people and places that western epistemologies of mastery legitimate, to generate a politics of knowledge sensitive to human and situational diversity.
