Epistemic Ruptures, Insurgent Philosophy - Paperback

by A. Shahid Stover (Author)

What happens when philosophy refuses to limit the horizon of emancipatory thought to the academic systematization of specialized knowledge? Brimming with literary originality, polemic depth and a startling range of philosophical insight, Epistemic Ruptures, Insurgent Philosophy is a powerful work of existential liberation critique that compels the reader towards a discursive reckoning with philosophy, intellectual engagement and the Black radical imagination.

A. Shahid Stover is an unwelcome but necessary thinker who is immensely provocative and dares to assert a spiritual autonomy of radical intellectual engagement in the face of globalized structural injustice, thus compelling the reader towards a confrontation with fundamental questions surrounding, not only philosophy itself, but where philosophy belongs, and as such, what the actual responsibility of philosophy entails in our contemporary world.
