Re-visioning Gender in Philosophy of Religion: Reason, Love and Epistemic Locatedness

Front Cover
Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2012 - 249 pages
Unearthing the ways in which the myths of Christian patriarchy have historically inhibited and prohibited women from thinking and writing their own ideas, this book covers fresh ground for revisioning the epistemic practices of philosophers. Anderson seeks both to draw out the salient threads in the gendering of philosophy of religion as it has been practiced and to revision gender for philosophy today.
