"Dr Renate Schepen's book is a timely and critical contribution to intercultural philosophy with a distinct relevance to feminist studies. An engaging dialogue between African and Western Philosophies."
Mogobe Ramose, Professor of Philosophy, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University, Department of Clinical Psychology, Ga-Rankuwa, South Africa
"There is not another in-depth treatise on Heinz Kimmerle like this one. While Kimmerle has extensive writings, this volume gives readers an overview of Kimmerle’s development as an intercultural philosopher. Schepen’s added creativity and imagination makes sure that her analysis is a unique contribution to the field."
Gail Presbey, Professor of Philosophy, University of Detroit Mercy
"Dr. Schepen has succeeded not only in transferring the concepts of Western philosophical approaches, such as those of Hegel, Heidegger, Derrida, Lyotard and Irigaray, into a kind of "dialogue", which already with Kimmerle itself culminated in a more than fruitful engagement with African philosophy, moreover she has also opened up new paths for an "intercultural dialogue" beyond Kimmerle by connecting deconstructive, decolonial, feminist discourses with the contemporary theory of ‘epististemic justice’."
Georg Stenger, Professor of Philosophy in a Global World, University of Vienna"Schepen's is the most comprehensive book to date in intersectional intercultural philosophy"
