Title: | Toward an Epistemology of Blindness Why the New Forms of 'Ceremonial Adequacy' neither Regulate nor Emancipate | Authors: | Santos, Boaventura de Sousa | Keywords: | Epistemology; Mainstream economics; Social emancipation; Social theory; Western modernity | Issue Date: | 1-Aug-2001 | Publisher: | Sage Publications | Citation: | European Journal of Social Theory. 4:3 (2001) 251-279. | Abstract: | My starting point in this paper is the artistic structures of the Renaissance. Resorting to what I call an epistemology of blindness, I set out to identify the limits of representation in modern science. This epistemology applies to different sciences in different degrees. I argue that the degree is particularly high in the case of mainstream economics. At the end of the paper I indicate some possible ways of advancing from an epistemology of blindness toward an epistemology of seeing. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/10782 | ISSN: | 1368-4310 | DOI: | 10.1177/13684310122225109 | Rights: | openAccess |
