The essays in this volume focus on philosophical issues from new angles created by the multicultural, global, and postcolonial feminisms that have been developing around us. They represent attempts to transform mainstream notions of experience, human rights, the origins of philosophic issues, philosophic uses of metaphors of the family, white antiracism, human progress, scientific progress, modernity, the unity of scientific method, the desirability of universal knowledge claims, and other ideas central to philosophy. |
