@iitalics@octodon.social ah well, the problem here is that some philosophers are critiquing the concept of “understanding”, which is not apolitical or given (understanding is made possible only through recourse to a system of signs and symbols which is very political in composition, and to an ontology of concepts likewise)
and if the thing you are critiquing is how knowledge is produced (to be clear: how CERTAIN knowledges are produced at the expense of OTHER knowledges; these certain knowledges typically having the hallmarks of white christian roman thought), you have to take special care to ensure that the knowledges you are critiquing are NOT being produced by your argument; to wit, you have to make your argument “difficult to understand” (to a white christian roman worldview and frame of mind, which is the default frame of mind in which most philosophers encounter texts)
