Product Description
Review
"Since feminism aims to transform social relations in order to overcome women's subordination, and since moral, social, and political philosophy seek to account for ethical interpersonal relations and to explicate and defend just social, political and legal institutions, it seemed natural that many feminist philosophers would choose ethics or social/political theory as a point of departure. Thus, feminist ethics and feminist social/political theory are now well-established fields offering rich literatures. This collection surveys pivotal topics and trends in this vital field."

Product Description
Feminists have been concerned to identify sexist assumptions implicit in the major philosophical traditions, and it is this commitment to gender equity that has enabled them to make distinctive and important contributions to philosophy. Bringing together key articles in feminist ethics and social/political theory, this collection is structured to highlight salient concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship and the advances feminist philosophers have made. The main topics covered in this volume are constructions of gender; theorizing diversity - gender, race, class, and sexual orientation; figurations of women/woman as figuration; subjectivity, agency, and feminist critique; social identity, solidarity, and political engagement; care and its critics; women, equality and justice. Contributors include Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, Genevieve Lloyd and Chantal Mouffe.
