Knowing the Difference by Kathleen Lennon (9780415089883)

Description - Knowing the Difference by Kathleen Lennon

The question of difference has always been a controversial issue for feminists. This is certainly true in the case of epistemological questions. What difference does the adoption of a feminist perspective make in relation to traditional knowledge? How are feminist perspectives themselves affected by the difference between women? Both questions require a re-evaluation of issues of objectivity and the justification of knowledge claims in a way that focuses on the subjects who constitute the knowledge producers. Using approaches and methods from both analytic and continental thinking, this important collection addresses traditional epistemology and issues raised by postmodern critiques. Knowing the Difference features contributions from an international list of contributors including Rosi Braidotti, Gemma Corradi Fiumara, Sabina Lovibond, Liz Stanley and Anna Yeatman as well as a range of new and innovative thinkers.
