Description

During this OMLET Special Seminar, we'll have three presentations by early career and established scholars on critical political epistemology. This seminar has a explicit metaphilosophical motivation, as it adopts a critical stance towards political epistemology. For this reason, we will start the discussion on the danger of epistemic idealism. Then, we will move to understanding how epistemic labor, capital and redistribution relate to its material counterpart. Finally, we will end with a presentation on the concept of global hermeneutic domination.

This seminar was directly inspired by the Critical Political Epistemology Network, and we are happy to have one of its founders, Solmu Antilla, as part of the program.
