A Question of Voice: Philosophy and the Search for Legitimacy
offers an explicit and comprehensive consideration of voice as a
complex of rethinking aspects of the history of philosophy through
issues of power, as well as contemporary issues that include and
involve the desire for and the dynamics of legitimacy, for
individuals and communities. By identifying voice as a significant
theme and means by which and through which we might better engage
some important philosophical questions, Ron Scapp hopes to expand
traditional philosophical discussion and discourse regarding
questions about validity, legitimacy, empathy, and solidarity. He
offers an innovative perspective that is informed and guided by
multiculturalism, ethnic studies, queer studies, feminism, and
thinkers and critics such as bell hooks, Barbara Christian, Angela
Davis, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, among others. A Question
of Voice is an American investigation, but also suggests questions
that emanate from contemporary continental thought as well as
issues that arise from transnational perspectives-an approach that
is motived by doing philosophy in an age of multiculturalism.
