Synopsis

Aimed at students and instructors in philosophy and women's studies, as well as to members of the larger community, this book includes a range of articles suitable for both introductory courses in philosophy and upper-division courses in philosophy and feminist theory. The scope of the papers is limited to western philosophical traditions, focusing on contemporary issues. The papers are collected into chapters titled by traditional fields of philosophy - methodology, metaphysics, theory of knowledge, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and philosophy of religion.
"With a new introduction and important new contributions, this new edition of Women, Knowledge and Reality synthesizes a better representation of work from continental philosophy and newer work from analytic philosophy for a comprehensive overview of contemporary feminist philosophy."-Linda Alcoff, Syracuse University --

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This second edition of Women, Knowledge, and Reality continues to exhibit the ways in which feminist philosophers enrich and challenge philosophy. Essays by twenty-five feminist philosophers, seventeen of them new to the second edition, address fundamental issues in philosophical and feminist methods, metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophies of science, language, religion and mind/body. This second edition expands the perspectives of women of color, of postmodernism and French feminism, and focuses on the most recent controversies in feminist theory and philosophy.

The chapters are organized by traditional fields of philosophy, and include introductions which contrast the ideas of feminist thinkers with traditional philosophers. The collected essays illustrate both the depth and breadth of feminist critiques and the range of contemporary feminist theoretical perspectives.
