Is Philosophy Androcentric? by Iddo Landau
Looks at the title's question and concludes that none of the arguments for viewing philosophy as pervasively androcentric ultimately stands up to rational scrutiny, while the ones that show it to be nonpervasively androcentric do not undermine it in the way that many critics have supposed.“This fine book provides a carefully and closely argued critical examination of the argument that philosophy is androcentricTreating both analytic and continental traditions, the book is written clearly enough to be useful in undergraduate and graduate courses, but it is also well worth reading by scholars in the field.”
—Sara Worley, Bowling Green State University
“‘Feminist philosophers’ will buy this book in great volume and attack it with abandon because, in spite of principled objections to the adversarial method, most ‘feminist philosophers’ in the English-speaking world are real philosophers, trained in the adversarial method, who, in spite of pious claims to the contrary, really like beating up on people. This is red meat.”
—Harriet Baber, University of San Diego
“Iddo Landau has written a focused and clearly organized book in which he investigates the extent to which Western philosophy is androcentric.”
—Sharon Crasnow Philosophy Reviews
