Intersecting Voices – Dilemmas of Gender, Political Philosophy, & Policy: Dilemmas of Gender, Political Philosophy, and Policy - Hardcover
Synopsis
A collection of essays extending the author's work on feminist theory. The essays explore questions such as the meaning of moral respect and the ways individuals relate to social collectives, together with issues such as welfare reform, same-sex marriage and drug treatment of pregnant women. One of the aims of this volume is to energize thinking in those areas where women and men are deprived of social justice. The collection draws upon ideas from both Anglo-American and Continental philosophers, including Seyla Benhabib, Johshua Cohen, Luce Irigaray, Susan Okin, William Galston, Simone de Beauvoir and Michel Foucault.
