Philosophical inquiry into pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering
is a growing area of interest to academic philosophers. This volume
brings together a diverse group of philosophers to speak about
topics in this reemerging area of philosophical inquiry, taking up
new themes, such as maternal aesthetics, and pursuing old ones in
new ways, such as investigating stepmothering as it might inform
and ground an ethics of care. The theoretical foci of the book
include feminist, existential, ethical, aesthetic,
phenomenological, social and political theories. These perspectives
are then employed to consider many dimensions of pregnancy,
childbirth, and mothering, which are of central importance to human
existence, but are only rarely discussed in philosophical cannons.
Topics include pregnancy and embodiment, breast-feeding,
representations or the lack thereof of pregnant and birthing women,
adoption, and post-partum motherhood.
