Produktbeschreibung

Philosophy's traditional "man of reason"--independent, neutral, unemotional--is an illusion. That's because the "man of reason" ignores one very important thing--the woman. Representing Reason: Feminist Theory and Formal Logic collects new and old essays that shed light on the underexplored intersection of logic and feminism.
