Abstract
The book has shown that the discipline should be rather more sanguine about its epistemic debates, and less ready to abandon apparent abstractions in favour of supposedly more substantive issues. At the same time, world politics is infused with epistemic anxieties, tensions, and concerns which suggest that Adorno’s conception of truth might provide a productive basis for empirical work.
