{"product_id":"9781472533456","title":"The Virtue of Feminist Rationality (Bloomsbury Studies in Philosophy)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeminist philosophers have been some of the most vocal critics of reason and rationality. While most feminists realize that rationality is a concept that cannot be entirely abandoned, few have considered how to construct a positive account of rationality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book represents a sustained argument for a feminist theory of rationality. It opens by asking the question: is reason inherently masculine? Deborah K. Heikes goes on to answer this question negatively and to examine what feminists actually want from a theory of rationality, specifying what a virtue theory of rationality is and how it works. She identifies those features that feminists believe are central to reason, identifying four dichotomies that are central to feminist thinking (mind\/body, reason\/emotion, identity\/difference, objectivity\/subjectivity), and argues that they can be captured by conceiving of rationality as a virtue concept. She further demonstrates how a specifically feminist theory of rationality can provide objective grounds for feminists' moral, political and epistemic agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52558631403831,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":286.88,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781472533456-1.jpg?v=1783206663","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781472533456","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
