GWST 258 - Introduction to Feminist Philosophy

(3.00)
Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, this course critically examines the ways in which women and women’s experiences have been ignored and explicitly and implicitly devalued in Western philosophy. It also seeks to uncover what, if anything, about the methods and central concepts of Western philosophy account for such exclusion and (apparent) contempt. More positively, we will evaluate new feminist approaches to old philosophical questions, such as: What is knowledge? What is justice?
