This volume showcases the work of philosopher Louise Antony, and
her influential contributions to feminist and analytic philosophy,
epistemology, and the philosophy of mind. Her broadly
interdisciplinary work brings a naturalistic perspective to
philosophical issues of both theoretical and practical importance
and center on a key theme-whether, and how, facts about human
embodiment ought to constrain philosophical theories. Antony argues
that feminist criticisms of analytic epistemology have brought to
light some serious limitations of mainstream approaches to the
theory of knowledge, and that a naturalistic approach to
epistemology is called for. In Part One of this volume, she
considers the relationship between feminism and analytic philosophy
of mind and language, with special attention to "speech act"
theories of pornography. In Part Two, she defends naturalized
epistemology both as a correct approach to the study of human
knowledge, and as a useful tool for progressive activists in the
struggle for social justice. And in Part Three, she confronts
nature-nurture debates, particularly as these erupt in debates
about gender and racial equality. Throughout the volume, she makes
the case for a philosophical method informed by empirical science.
Collecting these articles alongside a new introduction reveal the
underlying unity and impressive power of Antony's work over several
decades. Groundbreaking at the time of their publication, and more
relevant today, this collection will be of interest to a wide range
of philosophical readers.
