What happens when philosophy refuses to limit the horizon of emancipatory thought to the academic systematization of specialized knowledge? Brimming with literary originality, polemic depth and a startling range of philosophical insight, Epistemic Ruptures, Insurgent Philosophy is a powerful work of existential liberation critique that compels the reader towards a discursive reckoning with philosophy, intellectual engagement and the Black radical imagination.

A. Shahid Stover is an unwelcome but necessary thinker who is immensely provocative and dares to assert a spiritual autonomy of radical intellectual engagement in the face of globalized structural injustice, thus compelling the reader towards a confrontation with fundamental questions surrounding, not only philosophy itself, but where philosophy belongs, and as such, what the actual responsibility of philosophy entails in our contemporary world.
