Review
"Le Doeuff dares to challenge the idea that philosophy can be separated from myth, literature and 'the image.' She shows not only that philosophers do 'think in images', but that there exists a specifically 'philosophical imaginary'. Her readings of Descartes, Kant, More and others show how acknowledging this reliance on 'the image' has the capacity to enrich philosophy by opening it up to continuities with everyday life. The manner in which these essays treat important ethical, epistemological and political questions has led the way for the radical reform of the practice of philosophy." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
This text presents a discussion of the relationship between sexualtiy and epistemology. It analyses the ways in which philosphers conceive of women and how their masculine concepts of women enter philsophy. Alongside this critique of philosophy as its is practised, the author articulates a philsophy of feminism which sees feminism as truly philosophical and liberating to the conventional and traditional practice of "male" philosophy. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
