Description

A collection of essays extending the author's work on feminist theory. The essays explore questions such as the meaning of moral respect and the ways individuals relate to social collectives, together with issues such as welfare reform, same-sex marriage, and drug treatment of pregnant women.

One of the aims of this volume is to energise thinking in those areas where women and men are deprived of social justice. The collection draws upon ideas from both Anglo-American and Continental philosophers, including Seyla Benhabib, Joshua Cohen, Luce Irigaray, Susan Okin, William Galston, Simone de Beauvoir, and Michel Foucault.

Intersecting Voices challenges readers to consider these vital issues and provides insightful perspectives to stimulate thought and discussion.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"In all of these essays, Young makes political theory into 'the art of the possible'. It is her great strength as a theorist that she is able to identify issues in both academic literature and the public mind that philosophers have construed too narrowly, or failed to address altogether... Young is undoubtedly one of the more intelligently radical philosophers writing in the US." – Philosophy in Review
