Abstract

This contribution relates my feminist standpoint to Karen Barad’s agential realism. She calls her theory of knowledge an “ethico-onto-epistemology” as she states an “interconnectedness of ethics, ontology and epistemology” (Barad Citation2014, 100–101). Using this approach, she wants to overcome the history of excluding others by western sciences which is Buber’s perception, too: For him, dialogue is an ethical performance which is indivisible from knowledge, science, religion, or any other areas of existence. Buber’s thinking, according to Hans Kohn, elucidates a dialogical life that is ontological in nature and not just defined by a logical saying that brings order to life and does not address the errors of thinking in non-relational ways.
