Love and Vulnerability: Thinking with Pamela Sue Anderson developed
out of the desire for dialogue with the late feminist philosopher
Pamela Sue Anderson's extraordinary, previously unpublished, last
work on love and vulnerability. The collection publishes this work
for the first time, with a diverse, multidisciplinary,
international range of contributors responding to it, to Anderson's
oeuvre as a whole and to her life and death. Anderson's
path-breaking work includes A Feminist Philosophy of Religion
(1998) and Re-visioning Gender in Philosophy of Religion: Reason,
Love and Epistemic Locatedness (2012). Her last work critiques,
then attempts to rebuild, concepts of love and vulnerability.
Reason, critical self-reflexivity, emotion, intuition and
imagination, myth and narrative all have a role to play. Social
justice, friendship, conversation, dialogue, collective work are
central to her thinking. Contributors trace the emergence of
Anderson's late thinking, extend her conversations with the history
of philosophy and contemporary voices such as hooks and Butler, and
bring her work into contact with debates in theology; Continental
and analytic philosophy; feminist, queer and transgender theory;
postcolonial theory; African-American studies. Discussions engage
with the Me Too movement and sexual violence, climate change,
sweatshops, neoliberalism, death and dying, and the nature of the
human. Originally published as a special issue of the journal,
Angelaki, this large, wide-ranging collection, featuring a number
of distinguished contributors, makes a significant contribution to
the burgeoning interdisciplinary research on interpersonal
relations, sympathy and empathy, affect and emotion.
