Description:

Feminist philosophy is traditionally associated with the continental and postmodern traditions in philosophy. The methods, values and mode of inquiry of traditional Anglo-American analytic philosophy are often thought to be incompatible with feminist methods, values and insights. Over the past two decades a body of feminist work in the analytic tradition has emerged. Ann Garry characterizes analytic feminists as “philosophers who believe that both philosophy and feminism are well served by using some of the concepts, theories and methods of analytic philosophy modified by feminist values and insights”. The conference explores this relatively new branch of feminist philosophy, analytic feminism.
