Description
This book provides the first in-depth examination of philosophy and feminism in the works of Wittgenstein, exploring the diverse approaches within this emerging field
The four thematic parts are accompanied by an introduction from the editors. They cover the history of ordinary language philosophy, moral and political thought, feminist epistemology and conceptual approaches to gender. Chapters are written by feminist philosophers who question the way in which ordinary language philosophy can enrich moral thought. Authoritative and comprehensive, it increases the visibility of a significant field outside of mainstream philosophy and confirms the continuing impact of Wittgenstein.
