Continental Philosophy in Feminist Perspective: Re-Reading the Canon in German b

Description: Continental Philosophy in Feminist Perspective by Cornelia Klinger, Herta Nagl-Docekal A collection of essays by leading feminist writers from Austria, Germany and Switzerland that represent the range of feminist critique ongoing within this important area of continental philosophy. The introduction puts the essays in context and shows what makes their contribution distinctive. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Helene Cixouss complaint about the unavailability of French feminist writing in English has long been rectified, but the situation for feminist writing by German-speaking philosophers is still the same. This collection of essays seeks to overcome this handicap, and reveal the richness and variety of feminist critique ongoing in this linguistic community. The essays offer readings of thinkers from the Enlightenment to the present, including those often discussed by feminists elsewhere - such as Freud, Habermas, Hegel, Kant and Rousseau - as well as some less subject to feminist critique such as Benjamin and Weininger. In their introduction, the editors provide the context for understanding both how these essays fit into the larger picture of developing feminist theory and what makes their contribution in some ways distinctive. Author Biography Cornelia Klinger is a Permanent Fellow of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. Herta Nagl-Dockal is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Vienna. Review "Herta Nagl-Docekals and Cornelia Klingers long-awaited anthology brings together in translation some of the leading feminist philosophers in the German-speaking countries. Despite the increasing internationalization of feminist philosophy, in fact it is Anglo-American and French feminists who have won the battles for translation. This book is an important counterbalance to this tendency, and another step toward creating an international dialogue among feminist philosophers. The articles exemplify the strengths derived from a critical engagement with German philosophy. They reflect critically both on canonical texts in Western philosophy, as well as on positions that have become canonical in feminist philosophy."—Robin Schott,University of Copenhagen Review Quote &"Herta Nagl-Docekal&s and Cornelia Klinger&s long-awaited anthology brings together in translation some of the leading feminist philosophers in the German-speaking countries.
