Description for Representing Reason
Hardback. 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. Editor(s): Falmagne, Rachel Joffe; Hass, Marjorie. Num Pages: 256 pages, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: HPL; JFFK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 448.

Reviews for Representing Reason
In this excellent collection, the authors develop insightful critiques of formal logic's claims to universal authority and transcendence, and they propose creative reconstructions of a rational domain long believed impervious to gendered political critique. These innovative essays engage debates in analytic philosophy, pragmatism, and continental thought, forging productive connections between logical formalism and concrete experiences....
