Klappentext These multicultural, global, and postcolonial feminist concerns 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. Zusammenfassung A considerable amount of feminist thinking today works across borders in ways that unsettle familiar philosophical and political frameworks. This work also crosses regional, national, and continental boundaries, as feminists find they must think globally, act locally, as the popular slogan has it. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction.
