Why We Listen to Lunatics: Antifoundational Theories and Feminist Politics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 March 2020
Abstract
In this essay, I argue that Richard Rorty's version of pragmatism focuses too much on community, and gives insufficient attention to the workings of power and the necessary relation between theory and practice. I then turn briefly to the work of Michel Foucault for a better understanding of power relations. Finally, I argue for the value of learning from a group of writers who connect theory and practice in a way that attends to both community and power relations.
