Feminist Philosophy (Feminist Theory and Politics) by Nagl-Docekal New..

Taylor & Francis

Feminist Philosophy is a landmark contribution simultaneously to feminist politics and philosophical scholarship. It discusses how the issue of justice and gender could be sorted out in terms of contemporary contractarian conceptions. > Are we in a post-feminist era? Has the term, feminist, grown out of its resisted stance? What from today's standpoint is an appropriate concept of feminist philosophy? And is it not the case that all people thinking democratically must share its central concern? In this book internationally acclaimed philosopher Herta Nagl-Docekal discusses and critiques the theories of today. Her study ranges across philosophical anthropology, aesthetics, philosophy of science, the critique of reason, political theory, and philosophy of law. Continually confronting the persistent problem of the hierarchical relations of the sexes, Nagl-Docekal affirms the importance of feminist thought as she presses for effective approaches to common problems. > Foreword -- Ina
