This is the first collection of essays to focus on feminist
philosophy of mind. It brings the theoretical insights from
feminist philosophy to issues in philosophy of mind and vice versa.
Feminist Philosophy of Mind thus promises to challenge and inform
dominant theories in both of its parent fields, thereby enlarging
their rigor, scope, and implications. In addition to engaging
analytic and feminist philosophical traditions, essays draw upon
resources in phenomenology, cross-cultural philosophy, philosophy
of race, disability studies, embodied cognition theory,
neuroscience, and psychology. The book's methods center on the
collective consideration of three questions: What is the mind?
Whose mind is the model for the theory? To whom is mind attributed?
Topics considered with this lens include mental content, artificial
intelligence, the first-person perspective, personal identity,
other minds, mental illness, perception, memory, attention, desire,
trauma, agency, empathy, grief, love, gender, race, sexual
orientation, materialism, panpsychism, enactivism, and others. Each
of the book's twenty chapters are organized according to five core
themes: Mind and Gender Self and Selves; Naturalism and
Normativity; Body and Mind; and Memory and Emotion. The
introduction traces the development of these themes with reference
to the respective literatures in feminist philosophy and philosophy
of mind. This context not only helps the reader see how the essays
fit into existing disciplinary landscapes, but also facilitates
their use in teaching. Feminist Philosophy of Mind is designed to
be used as a core text for courses in contemporary disciplines, and
as a supplemental text that facilitates the ready integration of
diverse perspectives and women's voices.
