PHIL 302H - Great Philosophers: American W

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

Historically, philosophy has been seen as a largely male discipline. This misperception overlooks the rich contributions that women have made to the field. In this course, we will move beyond this oversight to look at work from women philosophers exclusively. In particular, we will read philosophy written by women throughout the Americas. We will read about, discuss, and write about a variety of philosophical topics, including, but not restricted to, metaphysics, ethics, and the self. Moreover, we will explore how these topics are situated within issues of various American identities and genders.
