Book Description:
|
This post-colonial and feminist reading of the Enlightenment explores the proto-postmodernist practice of examining ones conclusions through the eyes of the Other. Self-estrangement to gain critical distance from ones taken-for-granted assumptions, was central to the Enlightenment, and remains vital for critical sociopolitical thinking today.
