Alison M. Jaggar Bücher
Alison M. Jaggar ist eine Schlüsselfigur der feministischen Philosophie, die die Diskussionen in Ethik und Erkenntnistheorie maßgeblich geprägt hat. Ihre Arbeit zeichnet sich durch tiefgehende Analysen des Verhältnisses von Emotion und Wissen aus und untersucht, wie feministische Perspektiven das ethische Denken befreien können. Sie versteht es meisterhaft, prägnante Argumente und literarische Beiträge zu formulieren, die bis heute als Klassiker gelten. Ihr unermüdliches Streben, feministische Anliegen in die Philosophie zu integrieren, legte den Grundstein für neue Forschungsfelder und inspirierte Generationen von Gelehrten.
First published in 1998, this collection brings together key articles by prominent feminist thinkers, providing a sophisticated exploration of theoretical topics central to feminist social thought. It highlights significant concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship and the advancements made by feminist philosophers. The editor's introduction offers alternative pathways through the text, enabling instructors to tailor the reader to their specific courses and student interests. Each article includes a brief introduction that contextualizes it, emphasizing the main issues and conclusions, which aids students in navigating challenging theoretical concepts. Organized around seven topics—constructions of gender; theorizing diversity; figurations of women; subjectivity, agency, and feminist critique; social identity, solidarity, and political engagement; care and its critics; and women, equality, and justice—this collection represents a broad spectrum of feminist thinking. Students will engage with critical questions, including how gender norms are instilled and perpetuated, the relationships between gender and other social positions like race and class, the resources available for recognizing and resisting subordination, the goals of feminist politics, and the reconciliation of social and legal equality with difference.
