In Dialogue with Michele Le Doeuff - Philosophies, Encounters and Friendship

The work of Michele Le Douff creatively disrupts established notions of what philosophy might be. Far from being a discipline about the leader and the disciple, a hierarchy of knowledge and paternalism, Le Douff proposes a philosophy of dialogue and friendship. The conversations in this book explore how this philosophy can be enacted and explored, and show how openness and generosity can be the starting point of truly rigorous thinking. Introduced and curated by the late philosopher, Pamela Sue Anderson, Michele Le Douff explores themes like contemporary feminism, joy in philosophy, memory, the significance of friendship to thinking and a key Le Douffian concept, the imaginary. Le Douff''s interlocutors, including Penelope Deutscher, Elizabeth Fallaize and Meenda Dhanda, are some of the most significant thinkers in the fields of feminism and continental thought and provide insights and ways into considering philosophy as a profoundly dialogical exercise.>
