Informationen zum Autor Susan Moller OkinEdited by Joshua Cohen, Matthew Howard, and Martha C. Nussbaum Klappentext "This book brings together impressively varied voices who help to set the terms for discussing the relationship of feminism and multiculturalism. They show in no uncertain terms that feminists have something important to say to multiculturalists, and vice versa." --Amy Gutmann, Princeton University "This is a magnificent contribution to the field. It manages the tour de force of combining a striking contribution to political philosophy with an extremely readable text that will engage the general intellectual reader. All the entries are well written, short and to the point, and arranged in a fair, balanced way that never lets the attention sag." --Jane Mansbridge, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University Zusammenfassung Do demands for multiculturalism make them more likely to continue and to spread to liberal democracies? Are there fundamental conflicts between our commitment to gender equity and our increasing desire to respect the customs of minority cultures or religions? This book explores these unsettling questions. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction: Feminism! Multiculturalism! and Human Equality Joshua Cohen! Matthew Howard! and Martha C.
