The Routledge Companion to Feminist Philosophy
Description
The Routledge Companion to Feminist Philosophy is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key topics subjects thinkers and debates in feminist philosophy. Fifty-six chapters written by an international team of contributors specifically for the Companion are organized into five sections: (1) Engaging the Past; (2) Mind Body and World; (3) Knowledge Language and Science; (4) Intersections; (5) Ethics Politics and Aesthetics. The volume provides a mutually enriching representation of the several philosophical traditions that contribute to feminist philosophy. It also foregrounds issues of global concern and scope; shows how feminist theory meshes with rich theoretical approaches that start from transgender identities race and ethnicity sexuality disabilities and other axes of identity and oppression; and highlights the interdisciplinarity of feminist philosophy and the ways that it both critiques and contributes to the whole range of subfields within philosophy.
