Analytical philosophy & Logical Positivism; Feminism & feminist theory

Series: Bloomsbury Companions

Applying the tools and methods of analytic philosophy, analytic feminism is an approach adopted in discussions of

sexism, classism and racism. The Bloomsbury Companion to Analytic Feminism presents the first comprehensive reference resource to the nature, history and significance of this growing tradition and the forms of social discrimination widely covered in feminist writings.

Through individual sections on metaphysics, epistemology, and value theory, a team of esteemed philosophers examine the relationship between analytic feminism and the main areas of philosophical reflection. Their engaging and original contributions explore how analytic feminists define their concepts and use logic to support their claims. Each section provides concise overviews of the main debates in feminist literature within that particular area of research, as well as introductions to each of the chapters. Together with a glossary and an annotated bibliography, this companion features an overview of the basic tools used in reading analytic philosophy. The result is an in-depth and authoritative guide to understanding analytic feminist’s characteristic methods.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Companion to Analytic Feminism

[An] outstanding and most welcome contribution to the growing body of literature on analytic feminism. What is particularly attractive and distinctive about this book is not solely the impressive breadth of the intellectual field covered or the depth of the scholarly contributions gathered, but also the ambition (which is well realized) to make this companion a useful tool for both the well-versed specialist and neophyte readers who might be looking either for a point of entry to the vast literature produced by feminist philosophers influenced by the analytic tradition, or for a current lay of the land that maps the most important debates and discussions. * Hypatia Reviews Online * This is a wonderfully rich book. Its clear introductions to various topics (like what is analytic feminism? ) will help beginners to situate themselves. But it goes well beyond that, with impressive original contributions on vitally important topics ranging from anti-Black police brutality to global justice to Andrea Dworkin. This makes it a great resource for both specialists and students. A really fantastic addition to analytic feminist literature! * Jennifer Saul, Professor of Philosophy, University of Sheffield, UK *
