| Description: | GEN-200-01 = PHI-219-02 = PPE-228-02 : Topics in Ethics and Social Phil: Feminist Philosophy. Feminist philosophy considers the philosophical questions raised by our system of gender. The theme of the course is the meaning of difference. Historical inequality between men and women leads to the question of whether gender difference between men and women can be thought without hierarchy. This course considers numerous aspects and issues involved in these questions including how differences intersect in history and thought, whether men and women have different timeless and universal essences, whether philosophy's claim to knowledge is itself marked by gendered assumptions, what the role of pornography is in producing difference and inequality is and how the trans experience informs these questions. The last part of the course involves a philosophical examination of multiple feminist approaches -liberal feminism, difference feminism, radical feminism, Marxist feminism, Black feminism / womanism, and transnational feminism --to these issues. |
