PHIL 4 Philosophy and Gender

This course will focus primarily on the following questions:  What is feminism?  What is sexism?  What is oppression?  What is gender?  Is knowledge gendered?  Is value gendered?  What is a (gendered) self? What would liberation be?  In exploring these issues, we will examine the ways feminist theorists have rethought basic concepts in core areas of philosophy such as ethics, social and political philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of law, and philosophy of mind. Open to all classes.
