Essays on Ethics and Feminism is a selection of the shorter
writings of Sabina Lovibond, one of the most distinctive voices in
contemporary philosophy since the 1980s. This work lays claim to a
broad thematic unity based on its affiliation to the realist or
rationalist tradition in moral philosophy. Some of the essays seek
to clarify the relation of feminism to that tradition and to
current anti-rationalist tendencies: especially important here are
the status and prospects of normativity, autonomy, purposive
action, and other conceptual resources for critical thinking which
were called into question over (roughly) the last third of the
twentieth century-not least by feminist writers heedful of
'continental' European developments. The book as a whole is
concerned with fundamental ethical questions, including, but not
restricted to, questions of feminist ethics-such as the nature of
value and the good life; moral requirements and their associated
epistemology; character-formation and the ideological critique of
the processes by which this is carried out. The essays deploy ideas
drawn both from Platonic-Aristotelian and from Kantian ethics, as
well as from later Wittgenstein. However, they also attempt to
respond to the destabilizing impact of Nietzschean and
postmodernist thought. The writing is addressed to those engaged
in, or with some interest in, academic philosophy and draws on a
wide range of philosophical source materials, but avoids
unnecessary technicality. In the same way, it should appeal to
those with a pre-existing interest in academic feminism (and in
some forms of feminist activism), but could also serve to draw new
readers into the domain of feminist thought.
