what does F's work offer epistemology and/or political sociology?
three texts can frame this question for me, personally.
habermas's _philosophical discourses_
linda alcoff's _real knowing_
thomas popkewitz's _political sociology of education reform_
i suppose foucault's "what is enlightenment?" is a point of entrance for
me. discussion between butler, benhabib, and fraser (etc) certainly has
import.
but, the question at the top is one i am trying to engage, having specific
"stakes". my own work involves contemporary education reform movements and
conversations.
i wonder what others might think (and how they would translate such thought
into common tongue, and resonate with existing "public problems" in the way
dewey may have termed it).
what might F offer in terms of social epistemology, political sociology and
practical political conversation?
granted, "practical" is open for examination.
