Suppose I read Gayatri Spivak and come across her concept of sanctioned ignorance. What method do I use to determine if this is a 'good' concept or not? I think that internal consistency is a good place to start but I don't know other criteria to use.
a) that link is postivively byzantine. way too many references to stuff far too insular for a layman. never feel ashamed to not be up on a whole academic field you are not personally published in
b) i am too drunk to answer the pedagogilogical/eschatogical/epistomological basis of this question
