Recenzii
In Only Natural, Antony's tremendous philosophical insight illuminates a wide range of phenomena – some woefully neglected – that feminists of all stripes and disciplines should take seriously. Her tightly argued views draw on her expertise in philosophy of mind and epistemology and demonstrate the tremendous value of feminist work for a wide range of areas. Some of the essays have already had a major impact, and the newer ones surely will. It is essential reading for anyone interested in feminist theory.
The breadth of this collection is staggering: epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and language, moral and political theory, and the concept of human nature. But the underlying questions always concern the relationship between feminism and analytic philosophy. Antony argues that analytic philosophy has much to learn from feminism and, perhaps more surprisingly, that analytic philosophy has much to offer to feminism, a case she makes mostly through her own example. The discussion is shaped throughout by Antony's characteristic rigor, insight, wit, and humor, which makes it not just rewarding to read but enjoyable as well.
Louise Antony is a towering figure in feminist philosophy, one of the founders of analytic feminism. The release of this volume, then, is a milestone event for feminist philosophy. Antony's work shows that it's possible to combine views that others thought utterly incompatible-- like feminism and individualism, or feminism and nativism. Her vision of feminist philosophy is a unique and necessary one, posing vital and important challenges to deeply held beliefs on all sides. Everyone should read this.
This collection of Antony's essays is an invaluable resource on the thought of one of the most important figures in analytical feminism.
