Naomi Scheman parallels such an epistemology with paranoia, for it requires a radical splitting and excluding of aspects of the self `experienced as dangerously seductive, in favor of a detached and controlling objectivity' (Scheman, 1993). Those excluded aspects of the self, based on the sensuous and sensible embodiment of persons, and are those associated with the disenfranchised, particularly women. The resulting epistemology was a specific cultural achievement of those whose practical engagement with the world was minimal.
