Women, Knowledge, and Reality: Explorations in Feminist Philosophy

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.Garry, Ann is the author of 'Women, Knowledge, and Reality: Explorations in Feminist Philosophy' with ISBN 9780044452218 and ISBN 0044452217.
