Feminist Philosophy (V7085)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
Feminist philosophy covers a range of issues.
At the applied end, it is concerned with issues of particular political relevance to women, such as discrimination and equality, and ethical issues surrounding reproduction.
At the more abstract end, it is concerned with whether Western philosophical approaches and conclusions are themselves a product of patriarchy.
In this module, you explore such themes.
