In fact, the essay that I think you're referencing—"How is Epistemology Political?"—is by and large a critique of Rorty's treatment of epistemology within his nonfoundational critique of philosophy-as-epistemology. It seems to me that the nonfoundational link that you find between Nietzsche and Alcoff is indicative of the influence Nietzsche had on continental, postmodern philosophy, in which (as far as I can tell) a lot of feminist theory has roots. Nietzsche would spew bile if he read Alcoff's account of privilege in academia.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249049386560378946noreply@blogger.com
