Section Info:
Phil 412: Modern Women Philosophers In this course, we will consider philosophical views in metaphysics, epistemology, education, freedom, politics, and bias by women philosophers primarily of the 17th-18th centuries, and also some works from the 19th and 20th centuries. Many, if not most, of these views have been ignored throughout the history of philosophy, mostly due to the dominance of men in virtually all aspects of intellectual and academic life. Only very recently has there been a concerted effort in professional philosophy to rediscover the philosophical writings of women and to reinterpret the historical philosophical canon to appropriately represent them. Evaluation will be by a series of short papers and a longer paper. One previous course in philosophy is required.
