Opis

""In her interesting and provocative book, Robin May Schott focuses our attention on two central themes emerging from the context of an examination of sexual relations in which philosophy has operated. First, she asks the reader to wonder about the philosophical significance of the historical absence of women from philosophy, and, second, to consider the social implications of a philosophy constructed on this basis. Her conclusions are to see the suppression of the erotic theme of human existence from philosophical contemplation to be an expression of a philosophical response to morality; women have been viewed not only in terms of their life-giving sexuality, but also to embody the threat of death as well.""-Canadian Philosophical Reviews ""Schott's book stands as a good introduction to sexism in Western thought.""-International Studies in Philosophy ""This fascinating book is an important contribution to the expanding literature that seeks to expose the ideological, often misogynist, biases that pervade the Western philosophical tradition.""-Alison Jagger, University of Colorado ""A provocative inquiry into the role of intellectual asceticism in Western philosophy and its effects on the status and treatment of women. Schott's aim, in my view, is not so much to undercut or jeopardize philosophy as to invite further reflection on unexamined premises of philosophical thought.""-Fred Dallmayr, Notre Dame University ""A masterpiece of scholarship and critical interpretation that questions some of the most fundamental assumptions of the Kantian paradigm. Her avowedly feminist approach is bolstered by the instruments of social history and puts Kant's philosophy in a fresh and provocative perspective. A bold original work, it will be a landmark in Kant scholarship.""-George Schrader, Yale University
