Although there has been a resurgence of scholarly interest in Jane
Addams, much of the recent literature has dwelt more on her
extraordinary and pioneering life than on the philosophical
contribution of her twelve books and hundreds of published
articles. This study is the first book-length work to focus
entirely on Addams as a philosopher, a moral and political theorist
who was steeped in the classic American Pragmatist tradition but
who transcended that tradition to emphasize the significance of
gender, race, and class. Exploring Addams's contribution to
epistemology, ethics, and feminist theory, Maurice Hamington sets
the intellectual framework for Addams's social philosophy by
discussing her influences, her particular brand of feminism, and
finally her unique analytical perspective, which she described as
"sympathetic knowledge." The book also investigates how Addams
applied her social philosophy to issues of politics, women's
rights, prostitution, business ethics, education, and religion.
Addams's philosophical work remains relevant to current feminist
ethical discourse, and The Social Philosophy of Jane Addams leads
to an understanding of a cosmopolitan theorist who eschewed
ideological stances in favor of intermediary steps toward social
progress.
