Buch Details
With selections by marginalized thinkers, this Reader rejects the myth that American philosophy is fundamentally male, white, and limited to the United States. It offers a window to the contexts, cultures, and conflicts that shaped Native America, African American, Latin American, and Asian American philosophies, and provides fresh insight into perennial problems in ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology by expanding the philosophical canon. Required reading. ? Derrick Darby, Henry Rutgers Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University, USA
This exciting collection does some very important philosophical work: it opens the epistemological lens by which we can see better the diversity of experience that underlies life in the Americas. Diaz and Foust provide us the tools to construct a much more honest philosophical canon, one with a hemispheric awareness of the importance of multicultural and multiracial perspectives. By showing us the wide range of North and Latin American voices, we are able to put these resources in dialogue with one another and find new ways of thinking for a more humane future. ? José-Antonio Orosco, Professor of Philosophy, Oregon State University, USA
The year is 2021 and what you have here is perhaps the first and only anthology of "American" philosophy. ? Robert Eli Sanchez, Jr., Associate Professor of Philosophy, Occidental College, USA
Kim Díaz is a Philosophy Instructor at El Paso Community College, USA and a Philosophy & Mindfulness Instructor with the Philosophic Systems Institute.
Mathew A. Foust is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Central Connecticut State University, USA.
