Description:
This is the first book to offer a systematic account of feminist
philosophy as a distinctive field of philosophy. The book
introduces key issues and debates in feminist philosophy including:
the nature of sex, gender, and the body; the relation between
gender, sexuality, and sexual difference; whether there is anything
that all women have in common; and the nature of birth and its
centrality to human existence. An Introduction to Feminist
Philosophy shows how feminist thinking on these and related
topics has developed since the 1960s. The book also explains how
feminist philosophy relates to the many forms of feminist politics.
The book provides clear, succinct and readable accounts of key
feminist thinkers including de Beauvoir, Butler, Gilligan,
Irigaray, and MacKinnon. The book also introduces other thinkers
who have influenced feminist philosophy including Arendt, Foucault,
Freud, and Lacan. Accessible in approach, this book is ideal for
students and researchers interested in feminist philosophy,
feminist theory, women's studies, and political theory. It will
also appeal to the general reader.
