This book offers an account of moral subjectivity and moral
reflection designed to meet the needs of feminism as well as other
emancipatory movements. Diana Tietjens Meyers argues that impartial
reason - the approach to moral reflection which has dominated
20th-century Anglo-American philosophy and judicial reasoning - is
inadequate for addressing real world injustices. Dealing with
problems of group-based social exclusion requires empathy with
others. But empathy often becomes distorted by prejudicial
attitudes which may be publicly condemned but continue to be
transmitted through cultural figurations. Meyers argues that it is
a mistake to view the moral subject as independent, transparent and
rational. Instead, she presents a picture of a heterogeneous and
pluralistic subject, one that is defined by ties to other people,
liable to misunderstand its own motives, and in need of a repertory
of strategies for purposes of moral reflection.
