Perspectives on Feminist Political Thought in European History Summary
| Conventional histories of political thought have sometimes relegated feminist thinking to the footnotes. However, feminism is and should remain central to key notions of modern political discourse such as autonomy, liberty and equality. Also, feminist discussion of morality has much to add to major currents in political thought such as republicanism, civic humanism, and romanticism. Aiming to situate feminist ideas within the broader contexts of their time, this important volume spans six centuries of European history, and ranges from the political thought of Christine de Pizan to that of Simone de Beauvoir. This intriguing collection of essays shows that feminism truly is not a mere variant of modern radical discourse. Rather, it is evinced to be a significant mode of analyzing the issues of authority, power and virtue that have been at the heart of European political thought from the middle ages. |
