Philosophy/Feminist Thought

Prerequisite: One 100-level, three-credit course in philosophy This course examines issues in contemporary feminist thought as they have emerged from Western philosophy, such as: Are there distinctively feminist accounts of human nature, society and persons? Do interpretations of rationality, thought and experience reflect gender experiences? Do positions on moral issues reflect gender differences? Do feminist theories of gender, culture and power have social and political applications? Is feminism antimale? Offered alternate years. (Formerly PHIL 332)
