WGST 590 Seminar
Western philosophy has long claimed to be both "the view from nowhere" and the "view from everywhere." That universalizing perspective implies that gender is an "accident," and irrelevant to real philosophical analysis. This course will (1) consider possible reasons why philosophy has been "gender-less;" (2) seek to understand philosophy's misogyny and responses to it; and (3) examine the ways that feminist theory and practice have transformed recent philosophy, including postmodern philosophy.
