At first blush, Situatedness explores an obscure topic, perhaps the province of postmodern skeptics. But the practical consequences of Simpson's book are profound. Why must we always say where we're coming from? Simpson's examination of our predilection for situating ourselves is remarkably broad. It includes, for example, a section on jurisprudence. He asks why the law pays so much attention to the situations we come from: Why does the law care "what is imposed, what is willed" by a person on trial? And he writes a section on literature: What does a novel allow us to understand about the experiences of other people? Simpson never really argues a point; he's more concerned with illuminating the phenomena of "situatedness," but it's an intriguing illumination. --Eric de Place
“An exciting work, phenomenally erudite, informative, shrewdly and scrupulously argued, and very attractively written in vivid, non-jargony prose spiked with wry wit. Situatedness makes a striking contribution to current debates in humanities and social science scholarship, and it will be a touchstone for theoretical commentary in a range of different fields for a good while to come.”—Christopher Herbert, Northwestern University
