Feminists Doing Ethics by Peggy Desautels
Feminists Doing Ethics is the debut title in the new Rowman & Littlefield series, Feminist Constructions. In this thoughtful collection, contributors refashion essays from the international conference on feminist ethics, Feminist Ethics Revisited (October 1999), with an aim to critique social practice and develop an ethics of universal justice. The essays in this exciting volume explore the intricacies and impact of reasoned moral action, the virtues of character, and the empowering responsibility that morality generates. Feminists Doing Ethics brings to light concepts and ideas that are intended to extend our understanding of morality and of ourselves.
What a remarkably lively collection of essays DesAustels and Waugh have brought together in this text! Succinct and engaging, each essay provides creative new insights into feminist theorizing about ethicsThis text is delightfully tantalizing, highlighting the very best of current feminist theorizing. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
