Continental Philosophy in Feminist Perspective by Herta Nagl-Docekal

Continental Philosophy in Feminist Perspective by Herta Nagl-Docekal

A collection of essays by leading feminist writers from Austria, Germany and Switzerland that represent the range of feminist critique ongoing within this important area of continental philosophy. The introduction puts the essays in context and shows what makes their contribution distinctive.

“Herta Nagl-Docekal’s and Cornelia Klinger’s long-awaited anthology brings together in translation some of the leading feminist philosophers in the German-speaking countriesDespite the increasing ‘internationalization’ of feminist philosophy, in fact it is Anglo-American and French feminists who have won the battles for translation. This book is an important counterbalance to this tendency, and another step toward creating an international dialogue among feminist philosophers. The articles exemplify the strengths derived from a critical engagement with German philosophy. They reflect critically both on canonical texts in Western philosophy, as well as on positions that have become canonical in feminist philosophy.”

—Robin Schott, University of Copenhagen
