- Summary
- "Philosophy in Multiple Voices invites transactional dialogue, critical imagination, and the desire to travel, to enter those discursive spaces where the love of wisdom gets inflected through both lived embodiment and situational history. The text raises significant metaphilosophical questions around the issue of who constitutes the "philosophical we" through a delineation and valorization of multiple philosophical voices - African American, Afro-Caribbean, Asian American, feminist, Latin American, lesbian, Native American, and queer - that set forth complex concerns around canon formation; the relationship between philosophical discursive configurations and issues of gendered, sexed, racial, and ethnic identities; the dynamic of shifting philosophical historical trajectories; differential philosophical visions, sensibilities, and philosophical praxes that are still largely underrepresented within the institutional confines of "mainstream" philosophy. The text encourages philosophical heterogeneity as a value that ought to be nurtured."--Jacket.
