CREDIT HOURS: 3
Representations of women and constructs of femininity are a significant part of mainstream Western political thought. Drawing on contemporary critical analyses, this course examines the roles of such representations in the work of leading philosophers, with attention to understanding the relation between ideas of sexual difference and their general systems of thought. We will also discuss the work of contemporary feminist political theorists on a range of social and legal issues, through a review of recent developments in theories of knowledge, embodiment, equality, and rights.
