Seyla Benhabib

Situating the Self (eBook, ePUB)

Gender, Community, and Postmodernism in Contemporary Ethics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an attempt to defend the tradition of universalism in the face of a triple-pronged critique by engaging with the claims of feminism, communitarianism, and postmodernism and by learning from them. It situates reason and the moral self more decisively in contexts of gender and community.
