Beyond Separateness - Social Nature of Human Beings - Their Autonomy, Knowledge and Power

This book examines in great detail the different aspects of dominant individualistic ideas about persons. It argues that an alternative conception of persons, favored by many feminist thinkers, is more complicated than is often thought but can be shown to be a reasonable and plausible conception.
