Reviews

Jeff Engelhardt's thoughtful exploration of how systems of oppression impact our meaning-making practices provides an important and valuable contribution to a literature that has problematically tended to idealize away from thorny social facts. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the nature of meaning, as well as those interested in philosophical projects aimed at revealing and combatting oppressive social structures. * Jessica Keiser, Author of Non-Ideal Foundations of Language *
