Responding in the affirmative, Code offers a radical alterantive to mainstream philosophy's terms for what counts as knowledge and how it is to be evaluated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCode first reviews the literature of established epistemologies and unmasks the prevailing assumption in Anglo-American philosophy that \"the knower\" is a value-free and ideologically neutral abstraction. Approaching knowledge as a social construct produced and validated through critical dialogue, she defines the knower in light of a conception of subjectivity based on a personal relational model. Code maps out the relevance of the particular people involved in knowing: their historical specificity, the kinds of relationships they have, the effects of social position and power on those relationships, and the ways in which knowledge can change both knower and known. In an exploration of the politics of knowledge that mainstream epistemologies sustain, she examines such issues as the function of knowledge in shaping institutions and the unequal distribution of cognitive resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat Can She Know? \u003c\/i\u003ewill raise the level of debate concerning epistemological issues among philosophers, political and social scientists, and anyone interested in feminist theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLorraine Code is Associate Professor of Philosophy at York University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 9.03 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 1991\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47345276977401,"sku":"9780801497209","price":88.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MW1DV1JZVmVQOUwyMDhRcU9PVUUzUT09_de5c8056-08e5-481a-bf30-1dfcb62fe5e2.webp?v=1769742599","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/what-can-she-know-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
