Ecological Thinking by Lorraine Code

Drawing on ecological theory and naturalized epistemology, this book addresses the instrumental rationality and exploitation of people and places that western epistemologies of mastery legitimate, to generate a politics of knowledge sensitive to human and situational diversity.
Professor Code provides a rich and sensitive epistemology, an erudite yet eminently readable account of how we know and ought to behaveHer insights, arguments, and examples break new ground in helping us understand the dangers of autonomy, the role of advocacy, and the wisdom of ecological thinking. Anyone in ethics, epistemology, or feminist philosophy must read her book. * Kristin Shrader-Frechette, University of Notre Dame *
