{"product_id":"9780230237674","title":"Politics and the Criteria of Truth","description":"\u003cp\u003eA politically emancipatory action proceeds in the name of truth, not interests, power of domination. It is only through this activity that human beings' freedom exists. In the post-positivist era, in which the reified subject-object dichotomy must be overcome, we require a normative criterion of truth. Without it, the rationality of our beliefs and the justifiability of our political acts are both in question. Political epistemology is a research project that investigates how politics frames questions of knowledge. As a strategic activity to make the production of truth meaningful, ethically valuable, and politically emancipatory, it promotes a new understanding of the connection between political engagement and epistemic normativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present volume argues that despite their important differences, Karl Max, Theodore Adorno, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Jacques Derrida share a political understanding of knowledge and normativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007460557040,"sku":"9780230237674","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780230237674_p0.jpg?v=1763675072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780230237674","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
