Das Problem, für andere zu sprechen: [Was bedeutet das alles?] – Alcoff, Linda Martín – Erläuterungen – Denkanstöße – Analyse (Reclams Universal-Bibliothek)

by Linda Martín Alcoff

Wer darf für wen sprechen?  Darf man überhaupt für jemand anderen sprechen?
Die Kernfrage des Aufsatzes der Philosophin Linda Alcoff sticht in ein Spätestens mit den Diskussionen um die Übersetzung eines Gedichtes von Amanda Gorman wurde deutlich, wie schwierig und politisch brisant diese Frage ist. 

Alcoff sensibilisiert dafür, wann das Sprechen für andere schiefläuft, und zeigt zugleich, weshalb es dennoch notwendig ist, den Anspruch, für andere zu sprechen, nicht aufzugeben.

About the author

Linda Martín Alcoff (born July 25, 1955 in Panama) is a philosopher at the City University of New York who specializes in epistemology, feminism, race theory and existentialism. From 2012 to 2013, she served as president of the American Philosophical Association (APA), Eastern Division. Alcoff has called for greater inclusion of historically under represented groups in philosophy and notes that philosophers from these groups have created new fields of inquiry, including feminist philosophy, critical race theory, and LGBTQ philosophy. To help address these issues, with Paul Taylor and William Wilkerson, she started the Pluralist Guide to Philosophy. She earned her PhD in Philosophy from Brown University. She was recognized as the distinguished Woman Philosopher of 2005 by the Society for Women in Philosophy and the APA. She began teaching at Hunter College and the City University of New York Graduate Center in early 2009, after teaching for many years at Syracuse University.
