WGST 384 - Feminist Philosophy

Institution:

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Subject:

Description:

Feminists working in philosophy, most notably in the 19th and 20th centuries, have altered the traditional philosophical canon by first, recovering women philosophers who were essentially erased from the history and secondly, by extending and contributing to the standard questions of philosophy. For example, one central question of philosophy; "What can we know with certainty?" has been transformed through a feminist lens and reinterpreted as "What does one's gender, social location and cultural framework contribute to what one knows?" In this course we will look at the variety of feminist philosophical theories with a focus on epistemology, metaphysics and ethics. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Discussion CASL - Administration Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
