Philosophy in Multiple Voices

Editat de George Yancy Contribuţii de Professor Lewis R. Gordon, Jorge J. E. Gracia, Randall Halle, David Haekwon Kim, Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Lucius T. Outlaw Jr., Nancy Tuana, Dale Turner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 aug 2007
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 meta-philosophical 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.

Many of us have been looking for a book like Philosophy in Multiple Voices. It answers the need for a comprehensive assessment of how the project of philosophy can be transformed in order to address the realities of gender, sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity. This is an important work for philosophers and their students to read, think about, and discuss. No one will finish it without having questioned their understanding of philosophy.
George Yancy's anthology 'troubles' the purity of philosophical waters and re-acquaints the philosophical community with that all important question, 'what is philosophy?' What we understand, and are given, through the various philosophical voices from feminist philosophy to lesbian philosophy to Native American philosophy, is a rich and complex picture of varied relationships to and in philosophy and thus, a richer and deeper portrait of philosophy. Finally, a book in which marginalized philosophers, present and future, can and will find themselves!
George Yancy and the contributors of Philosophy in Multiple Voices present clearly-written, experientially rooted essays whose power and resonance derives in large measure from being part of an ensemble. The benefit to scholars and especially students is incalculable.
