Key Concepts in Philosophy is a series of concise, accessible and
engaging introductions to the core ideas and subjects encountered
in the study of philosophy. Specially written to meet the needs of
students and those with an interest in, but little prior knowledge
of, philosophy, these books open up fascinating, yet sometimes
difficult ideas. The series builds to give a solid grounding in
philosophy and each book is also ideal as a companion to further
study. Gender: Key Concepts in Philosophy provides clear and
comprehensive exposition and analysis of the main philosophical
theories, ideas and arguments that inform, and are raised by,
questions of gender and sexuality. It explores both early feminist
arguments, which stress 'sameness' between sexes in the interests
of equality, and later theories, which emphasise difference. It
raises the question of how succesfully feminist theory has
negotiated the relationship between gender, race and class. The
text looks at how Marxist and psychoanalytic theory help to
articulate feminist theory and also at how they might inhibit it.
It also explores the ways in which the approaches of Foucault and
Derrida have been taken up by feminist philosophy to reformulate
questions of power and ideology. Finally it addresses contemporary
questions of sexuality, transgender and technology, and how these
require a reworking of traditional feminist theory. Philosophy
undergraduates will find this an invaluable aid to study, one that
goes beyond simple definitions and summaries to really open up
fascinating and important ideas and arguments.
